Ah, french knots irritate the heck out of me! Hope the links from everyone on here helps you. When I done my tatty teddy I left the eyes till last as they were french knots. There was some colourful language coming from my mouth as I was getting soooo frustrated trying to do them lol, kept slipping through the fabric or not looking like a knot, grrr

ooohhhh! I get it now! all this time, golly. I've been wrapping the thread on the needle the wrong direction, no wonder it always slips through! wow, thanks, that was so helpful.

French knots are being discussed on another group I belong to. I found this site that has a short video about french knots.

What a super site, Lori. I'd love to try my hand at surface embroidery - I've got lots of books, but just haven't started yet!

That is a very good site. Lots of information for many stitches. Thanks for adding it to our stash of internet help.
