Sewing Craft
Help with sewing. I have so many craft ideas that involve sewing but I don't know how to...?

... I don't know how to finish the piece. I sew several "knots" when I am done sewing to finish it off but it always seems so insecure - like if one thread breaks, the whole thing will come unraveled.

What is the most effective way to finish a piece that has just been sewn?

You need to use a better brand of thead if it is breaking. Use a polyester sewing thread and not the cheap stuff sold for a dollar.

I back stitch a couple of times and then seal with Fray Check. http://www.joann.com/joann/catalog/productdetail.jsp?CATID=cat2864&PRODID=prd2992
