Oh, here is one of the best tips ever: When you get ready to pop the knot, put your thumbnail on the knot against the fabric. It will pop right in with no stress on the thread.

To do the end knot I take the needle and wrap thread twice around it - like doing a french knot- and then go back through the hole where the thread is coming from and come up about inch away. Then just pop that knot through and clip your thread.
Hope that makes sense.
Perfectly! I've been doing it the hard way.....thx!
