               Sewing knot 8: Russian join




               For  those  who  like  a  challenge,  the  Russian  join  is


               one of the hardest ways of joining two threads. It’s
               also one of the smoothest and strongest, being more

               like a nautical splice than a knot.


























                  1  Thread one of the ends onto your needle. Starting at least a needle’s


                   length from the end, weave the end of the needle through alternative

                                            strands of the second thread.
