In the video, I demonstrate how to tie off 4 basic stitches ( ladder stitch, running stitch, blind stitch, and whip stitch) in several mock projects.
As you watch the video, remember, one method of tying off a thread isn't better than another method. Use which one makes sense to you based on the hand stitch you're doing.
You can find additional information and photo tutorials on the different ways to finish a stitch on my website: theruffledpurse.com/how-to-finish-a-stitch-in-hand-sewing
