"Hi! I'm Karen for Expert Village. Now, for the ending knot. We'll be sewing and when you're sewing and you come to end and you want to stop, the one thing you want to remember is not to get down too short. Let me go down and show you. You don't want to wait. You need to have at least 5 inches of thread before you stop. If you make it too short, and I'll show you what happens, you can't get back. It's too short and you can't get the needle back to be able to knot it. You want to make sure you have at least 5 inches of thread so you can do your ending knot. So say we are sewing along and we end up with 5 inches of thread left, so now we're going to knot it. You grab a little bit of fabric and you pull the needle through leaving a loop. You'll put your needle back through this loop and grab the new loop that's being formed and pull the other loop down. Now you have a new loop. You're going to put your needle through this loop and pull that loop down to have another loop. Now if you want to make it extra tight, you can do it one more time. Twice is really enough. Pull that loop all the way down to the end and then pull the final loop and pull that tight. And that is your end knot. "
