Wet your finger, it will roll off easier....

I do it around the finger like you described, but I always lick my index finger first----maybe it is the spit that does the trick!!! :D:D

I use the method you mentioned, but I've been embroidering since I was 6 years old (I'm 54 now), so it's like 2nd nature to me. I am even able to knot the thread without the little "tail" on the end. I've never tried another kind of knot.
Sorry I couldn't help. |
Don't roll the thread off your finger. Instead, pull the needle through.
Here's another, better view. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L84L0HqOn50 |
I do both depending on how I feel and my left hand is working. Keep trying it gets easier with practise.

It also helps if you remember to always thread your needle with the end coming off the spool (not the newly cut end). Thread is wound in one direction & is more likely to get twisted if you thread the needle from the other end.

I have been quilting for almost 30 years and I was never able to twirl around the finger to make a knot. I just tied a knot and make sure it was buried well.

I usually wrap the thread a couple of times around the needle then slide it off to the end
|
..going to try that lock stitch on end...I sometimes just tie that tail to the eye of the needle.......
