With one small additional step, in order to secure the tail without a knot .... when sewing the tail from last ring, insert into base of 1st ring Twice - something like a backstitch ? This double insertion anchors the bare thread fairly well (try pulling on it) and then continue to weave into ring in 'opposite' direction/side.<br />I've done this for my caftan edging which is worn & washed frequently & none of the threads have dislodged. After a wash, while still damp, I even pull the rings into shape (to ease ironing) & the hidden ends stay put.<br />Hope this helps toomuskaanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13125166115615109271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114660986925655424.post-4882340777111187802016-08-10T18:45:14.603+01:002016-08-10T18:45:14.603+01:00That's the problem with bare thread work becau...That's the problem with bare thread work because your last link back to finish the work is a bare thread which is not anchored in any way. So you have to tie it somehow before hiding the end.<br /><br />Thanks for the link, I'll go have a look.Frivolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10318670621310820581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114660986925655424.post-38168148928019047452016-08-10T18:43:58.765+01:002016-08-10T18:43:58.765+01:00I'm sorry they don't work for you as I'...I'm sorry they don't work for you as I'm rather a fan of magic loops... how do they fall apart?

Otherwise, yes hide the first end in the first ring and sew the last one in or use a magic loop.

(http://www.craftree.com/forum/threadfs/32501?page=1) <br /><br />Hiding the ends when you've finished is a different matter, though. I suppose I would do the same as Jane E and Margaret - hide the starting thread in the first ring, and sew in the last end - making sure to do more stitches than usual. I'm cogitating on whether I'd tie a small knot in the thread after I've sewn it in...GraceThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07091425079680511314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114660986925655424.post-10278624613207110632016-08-08T15:11:07.191+01:002016-08-08T15:11:07.191+01:00Fabulous sachet!!! :)

I'd do the same as Jane E, hide the starting thread inside the first ring as I worked it, and then sew the other end under the caps of the same ring.
