    OMG that is so funny 😂😂😂 I have been playing & winning if I do say so myself. The way I get that last stich in I put my needle 🪡 on the next hold, pull the piece of tread with the needle threader and completely pull it out 😅😅and done, until there is nothing left.

      Winning thread chicken is the best! Someone else said they use the needle threader to help; such a great idea!

    I try not to put myself in this position but managed to miscalculate just the other day. Thankfully I had just watched your video and used this handy tip to finish my last two stitches. Thank you so much for positing this!!

    I usually use my needle threader as the loop & that way I don't need to involve a needle to finish the stitch. Running it under the back I'll push the needle part way then use the needle threader to feed it through the eye.

    • @catkinandlillie
      @catkinandlillie  2 місяці тому

      Funnily enough I wondered if using a needle threader would work the same way, but ended up not testing or including that because I don't actually have any needle threaders and I figured not everyone would have one...but it's a great option 👍😄
