Sewing in Ends Securely

Sometimes when you sew ends in, they can become unravelled. This is because very often we just sew a couple of stitches on top of one another around a stitch.

What I like to do is to instead of sewing in around a stitch, I like to split the stitch so that the end of yarn fibres will work into the stich fibres to hold it more securely.

Also when I cut the end, I don't cut it flush to the work; if it's not going to be visible, I like to leave a couple of millimetres on the end so that it doesn't start to work its way to unravelling.
