I do the same way

I had a hard time with creating the knot. Then someone related it to a french knot in embroidery. I hadn't forgotten my grade school embroidery lessons. That made it clear enough for even me.

I make the quilter's knot when starting handquilting and bury it but how do you get the knot at the very end of your stitch when finishing? Boston1954 what is the title of the book?

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.

this is what I do too

Here's my fave method. Right at the beginning of the video.

knot and pull through to the batting. Especially if it is a quilt that you are going to be washing. Tie a know about 1/8 from the last stitch, and then make next stitch, and pull through batting, and out about 1 inch from last stitch and cut. This will save loosing stitches later.

Thanks to everyone who posts the websites. I had no idea there were so many. I especially love the sites with videos.
I am from Ft. Smith, AR and have just recently learned there are several on here from Arkansas. Everyone has been so helpful. Love this site. :D

This is what I do too. Knot and bury.

I use a 'quilters knot' at least I think that's what it's called. If you were doing embroidery,it's a french knot; then bury it.
'take the tail, wrap it around the needle 3 or 4 times, then slide it down the length of the thread,' ta da.
