Try this....hold threaded needle in RIGHT hand, place about 1/2 inch of the long end of this piece of thread BEHIND the needle (end of thread pointing to sky). Then with LEFT hand wrap around needle 3 times,,,and take the wraps off needle with RIGHT fingernails sliding them down the needle and down long piece of thread until almost the end of thread and pull tight. This is what makes that knot. (Hope that I explained it well enough for you to understand).
I've got the knot figured out, I am still working on the rest. I have used Sharon Schamber's method of quilting without a hoop and like it.
I think you've described how to make the knot perfectly! It's how I make all my knots now... so quick and easy... once you get the hang of it...
