Piercing the end of the thread by the needle EYE, is done AFTER the quilter's knot is already done. This keeps the single thread from coming out of the needle eye.
If you watch the video link from Peckish you will see the difference. I can't believe how taking this little extra time to secure the single thread in the needle saves me lots of frustration. I hate sewing along on a binding and accidentally pulling the needle off the thread and having to re-thread several times before I get my binding done.
