Super trick. Thank you.❤❤
You're welcome Joy 😊
Genius tip! That is going to come in so handy. Thank you.
You're so very welcome 😊
You are a genius!!!!!!! Love the tip.
Thanks so much and I'm glad it was helpful 😊
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!
😆 “Thread chicken”, I love that. I play that all the time and have gotten very good at winning. I never thought to do what you do though, that’s so much better than what I do! Thanks for the new tool in my arsenal 😊
Well that's fab that you've been winning thread chicken anyway but glad I could show you another technique too 😊
Brilliant. Will definitely be using that trick.
So glad this will be helpful for you 😊
You are so clever. Thank you, Kat.
Aw, thanks Sherrie 😊
Have heard of this method on FB and people have explained it but this is so much clearer, Kat 😀😀👍👍
That's so kind of you Helena, and I'm so happy it was nice and clear for you 😊
That is so AWESOME!!! Thank You!
You're welcome Connie 😊
I LOVE this! This is such a good tip. you're a thread chicken champion! 😅

Genius. 😊
This is one of the best tips I’ve heard. I’ve already used it. Thank you!
Yes!! I'm so glad to hear you put this to use immediately 😊
Thank you Kat...love your videos. I'm new to cross stitching so these tips and tricks are great 😍
Yay! I love sharing these tips 😊
What a wonderful tip! Thank you Kat!
You're welcome Rosemary 😊
Great and easy tip Kat. All I need now is how to win thread chicken with my machine bobbin.
Ah...don't think I am any help with your machine 😂
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!!
Avoiding being in this position is definitely preferable, but I'm glad this video popped up just at the right time to help you out 😄
Great tip, thanks for sharing.
Your'e welcome 😊
Great tip! Seems i'm always playing tread chicken 😮
Yup, it's a neverending game! At least I mostly win; hope you do too 😄
How very clever! TFS!
You are so very welcome 😊
I’m so glad I had learned this previously as it has been very valuable to me.
That's great that you've already been using this technique; it's so helpful!
What a really useful tip, thanks for sharing x
You're welcome 😊
Good tip. Ty for sharing
You're welcome 😊
My "go to" also.
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.
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 👍😄
Sounds like what I do!! Didn't know till now it had a name😂❤
Great tip!
Fantástico , me encantó y sin duda lo implementaré de ahora en adelante pues no me gustan los desperdicios de hilos 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥰👍🏻
Yay! Really glad this was helpful for you ☺️
