How to Join Beading Thread

This  knot is easy to do once you get the hang of it.


Test it in a few beads you are using for your project to be certain it will fit through
with at least one other slip of thread already in the beads. You don't  want to
break a bead in the middle of a project, or get your knot hung up either.

Overlap the ends of your old & new threads a few inches. Take one end, and
form the loop shown below,  crossing the two threads about midway of the overlapped distance.

Make several turns around the two threads, through the loop, working in the direction shown

Pull the tag end to form a snug knot tight around the line.

Use the other thread's loose end to tie a second knot in the opposite direction.
Pull the tag end of the second thread to form a second snug knot.

Pull the two long threads in opposite directions to slide the knots together.
Pull as tightly as possible and snip the tag ends close to the knot.

 
This slim double knot will slip through beads easily, leaving no "loose ends" to deal with in your work.
*Don't use this knot near row ends & spots where several threads must go through a single bead.*
Nice Work!!
