When you reach the end of your rag basket, Tie off the stitching threads and hide the cut edges beneath the top basket coil.

To do this, make the final knot at the top of each thread on the inside of the basket. Make sure the knot is tight.

To hide the knot ends Lift up the fabric wrapped coil and place a tiny dab of glue on the threads under the coil where it won't be seen. Pull the ends of the thread out from the center of the basket where you tied the last knot, anchoring the thread in the glue as it passes under the top coil. Cut the thread just under the coil and check that the ends don't show on the outside or inside of the coil. Tie off each set of ends as you reach the next thread.
