question about this youtube video
#1
Ok before I started tying my quilts I watched this video. Now that I have two of them tied I am concerned. (a little slow on the uptake)
Please watch the video. At first the lady says "right over left" even though she is showing left over right.
I did my knots left over right like the video shows not like she "says" Please tell me my knots won't fall out when the quilts are washed.
Thanks for any help on this. I appreciate it.

Am on dial up so can't watch the video but like others have said, it probably doesn't make a difference. Used to be a "den mother" for Cub Scouts and knot tying was one of the things taught the boys. A square knot will not easily come untied. You cross the right hand string(rope) over and around the left hand one, then you take the left hand string (was 1st on the right side) and cross it over and around the right hand one. Pull the knot tight, should look kinda like a figure eight. Remember "Right over left, Left over right" kinda like screwing on the hose "Righty tighty, lefty loosey" Clear as mud? :D

I like to tie left over right and then right over left, it makes a good strong knot. But everyone has there own preferences :D:D:D
