    Gloria Peterson posted an update 6 years, 2 months ago

    Hi Judy,

    I’m having trouble with knotting the thread once I’ve completed a practice stitch. I’m wrapping the thread around the needle about 4 times and going under stitches, but the knot is always about a 1/4” above the fabric. I just can’t seem to get the knot to lay on the fabric. It’s especially bad when I do a straight stitch.
