When I finished the seams on my merino cardi I simply used a three thread overlocking stitch. This was, admittedly, what the instructions suggested you do. But I thought I’d share how to finish my finishing.
Unravel the tail of your overlocking threads, with a hand needle take the threads back into the seam bringing them out about a centimetre away. Cut the threads at/ close to your fabric. Stretch the fabric out to pull the threads back between the two layers of fabric. Finishing in a neat way was particularly important on the sash ties and hem of the cardigan.
how do you finish your finishing?

That’s really useful. I ust admit I’m really bad at finishing the ends off when I’ve been overlocking. I’ll try that in future. Thanks

I finish mine like yours and sometimes I tie the knot as close to the sewing as I can and then tuck it into the sewn edges….. either way, I don’t think it’s going anywhere, right?!
