Might be a dumb question...

I find videos all over on how to use a speedy stitcher, but I cannot find any thing on how to finish the stitch. I read in one thread about a "bury" but not sure how or what that is referring to. Anyone have a video on how to finish a stitch?

thanks
 
It's just a square knot, left over right, right over left, is how I remember that knot from my boy scout days, you can go right over left and left over right as well. The biggest thing I learned was the side of the speedy stitcher you pass the thread on while putting it through the loop on the back side of the fabric does matter, took me a few tries of tangles before I figured that out, lol.
 
Thanks for the replies. I am considering attempting to DIY. I want to start out by making a knaider and a multistep aider. They look fairly simple and would pair nicely with my WE Stepps. I want o practice the knaider/aider climbing method to reduce my pack weight from 8 to 4 stepps. I was visiting the in laws and my mother in law has an old school singer sewing machine she is willing to give me. I am going to do some research on it to see if it can handle stitching through webbing and other heavier materials. If it can't, I will be going the speedy stitcher route. Now that I have the info on finishing a stitch (and that it is extremely simple) I have no worries with going with the speedy stitcher.
