Anyone else have extreme paranoia of their string coming loose at the end as the client wears them or is it just me. 🤣

Yes. Ev.ery. Day. I’ve been contemplating putting a dot of glue so I can sleep at night 😂

I do feel like the cotton one I used in the mannequin has more grip than the nylon one. Maybe that’s why I feel so insecure about it. I may switch back to cotton if you say it’s better

I use to use nylon with a different method and it has too much slip so those knots will come undone unless you glue them down. I switched back to cotton thread with IBE and haven’t had any issue with the knots. :)

I use both nylon and cotton because I’ve been trying to see what I prefer stitching with and I think I personally prefer the nylon but I don’t recommend using it until you realllly feel comfortable holding the wefts, and you feel like you have the stitching down pat!

So I’ve tested both. My feelings are I like both for different reasons. With less wefts I can get away with nylon locking and holding better, but with more wefts 4-6 per row I like the sturdy feeling of the cotton! But...I’ve played with taking a small amount of the cotton and tying it off like an anchor string to the back of both anchor beads then starting my sewing with nylon. I start the nylon the same way but take the cotton and nylon and knot them together! If that makes sense?! It works really well on heavier rows and clients who voice they don’t like the thicker cotton string. That’s how I came up with it actually. 🤪

I have major trouble with my cotton thread tying itself in knots with its tail while I’m stitching. Not sure how to prevent that?

This is a stupid question but if I get it on amazon what did you search? Cotton sewing thread?
