I was worried my bracelet would come apart while I was trying to tie it, and this method is just wonderful! Thank you for making and posting this step by step lesson!

Thank you! This looks like a very safe way to bind off.

Thank you so much, very clear and great with the square know, didn't see that yet in other vids. Take care ☺

Thanks for this . It looks much easier than the way I have been doing it. I was taught to thread a needle in and out of the braid 4-6 times, wrap the thread around, and then sew through the braid again, before gluing over the thread. Is the way just as secure ?

Hi Lilia! Sewing the binding is unnecessary extra work if you're going to glue on an endcap. I only sew the ends for situations where I won't be gluing on an endcap. -Rebecca Combs- :)
