by: ChristineHey Leilani,Thanks for your question.

Here’s what another visitor wrote for a similar question:

“I’ve found that at least a couple of kinds of knots DO work with Stretch Magic: the square knot and the surgeon’s knot.

Pull the knots as tight as possible, then tuck the knot into the nearest bead hole with a dot of jewelry glue and let it sit at least 24 hours.

Don’t cut your ends TOO close to the knot. Some people melt the knot with a little heat, but I don’t have the knack for that; I end up melting the whole knot. (G)”

Cheers,
