whats a good finishing knot? ive heard of the fishermans knot and the blood knot, both of them require two stings to use but youll only have one coming from the fabric, so they dont work am i just not doing it right? And when doing the last stich how do i conceal the knot?

I found it especially helpful with the last stitch and how to hide it and the knot.

Hope that helps.

I make a standard ol' knot-knot.

Y'know, like loop it and put it through? easiest knot out there.

I make about two or three of those and I'm set.

yeah, on the few bags i have tried, i have put a dab of super glue on the knot, and it holds guranteed, and doesnt seem to affect the play. its especially good for sandbags.
