It depends on what you're planning to do with this. If it will be
framed under glass, then perhaps a solution would be to use a drop of
"super glue" on the tip-end of a tooth-pick to coax the thread end into
position. Remove the toothpick immediately, to avoid that becoming a
permanent part of your piece!! The place that you have super-glued will
be very inflexible... so be sure it is flat when you're working it.
Unless you add far too much super-glue to the tip of the tooth-pick, the
tiny speck of glue will hold the end of your thread to just the point
you want - and nothing else.
Still, as Geri and any other textile purist will tell you, this
diminishes the value of your work unless all you really want is the joy
of seeing a pretty piece you lovingly worked for so long! And... this
is often all we ever want! This won't be one of your "State Fair"
entries. But a casual observer will scarcely notice.
