Embroidery experts may notice that my version of this is more often called a Colonial knot. It must be mastered.
Right-handers (black dot indicates start point)
Bring the needle up from the back of the fabric, and wrap the thread around the needle two or three times. Put the needle back into the fabric close to where it originally came out. Do not go back into the same hole otherwise the knot will be lost.
Before pulling the needle back through the fabric, gently pull up the thread that is twisted around the needle. Place your fingernail over the twist and pull through.

Tip
For a larger or smaller knot wrap the thread around the needle more or less times.
