Need help with string-thrusting.

[Julius_Van_Der_Beak]

String-thrusting is a manly word for sewing, much like hydrator is a manly word for moisturizer.

Anyway, I had a pair of jeans with a hole in the knees. I cut off the lower half with scissors to make shorts. Seemed wasteful to just throw them away Only, I realized I need a hem to stop the part the part of the fabric that was cut from fraying.

I'm trying to string-thrust the hem, manually.

The bit I need help with is at the end. What are good ways for securing the thread so it can't just be ripped out? I've improvised stuff with tying knots, but I can't help but feel that it's woefully inadequate. It certainly looks sloppy, and I have no clue how durable it is.

I can't help you. I never had the patience to learn this. But oh wow...I love how you worded this 'thread'.

Well according to string theory, there is no thrust. There's vibration, and the way it vibrates determines what it manifests as. We're each part of the amazing music!
