Bullions and Milleners

Lots of people have trouble making bullion knots.  Lots of other people say to use a milliner's needle. But no one has explained how to make a bullion knot with a milliner needle as well as Unbroken Thread does in this article.

Wonderful! I usually hate billions and that actually looks 'do-able' and 'repeat-able'. Translation - I hate that my billions all look different and wonky; they should look consistent. Thank you for the link.

Glad to help out, Pam. Thread choice helps. I've done billions in any thread from in one ply of silk to an overdyed wool. The wool hides a lot of sins!
