French knots: Indian version

Tutorial: Indian version of French Knots

While working with hoop this method of doing french knots is easy.

Earlier in my old blog I have given the same tutorial but I am not sure how many of you got this method of doing french knots
Bring up the needle on to the fabric.
Bring the working thread towards left hand side and keep the thread under your thumb.









keeping the thread under your thumb bring the needle under and over the thread so that the thread wrap around the needle, but don't pull the needle.
# you can repeat the under over of the needle to get  bigger knot.
maintaining the same tension of thread by keeping the thread under your thumb  slide your needle towards right side
 slide the needle towards where the thread emerged on the fabric
 and bring down the  needle through the fabric
one french knot is done.
here in my tutorial I have used 8 strands of silk thread.
