I meant to say it was how to begin hand embroidery without a knot. Janet

Hi Alex: in the 400 series Elly Sienkiewicz mentioned a tip on making a loop knot for starting hand appliqué taught to her by Wendy Grande. You said you taught Wendy. LOL. My question is would you be so kind as to explain the loop knot here. Elly was not clear in her demo how to do it. It looked like she brought the thread up from the back without a knot leaving a tail of a couple of inches and went back down close to the same hole. After that point she lost me. Thank you. Janet
