Rug Hooking
How do I keep latch hook rug knots stories from loosening and coming undone?

I work in a carpet and some of the knots are loose coming, I am afraid it will fall apart. Is there something I can do to prevent it?

I have a few bolts design hook that I made in the last 35 years or so and still are holding strong. I pull the thread taught (not really tight that I can pull, as you may break). Wiggle the story a bit as I pull it taught. I do this for each piece as I put it. If I notice one is not crowded or have worked loose, I just tighten it again. Sometimes when you work in design or folding it, etc. these peices can come loose, but once design is complete, it should be fine. Never had one come undone yet. You could possibly use the stuff they put on the back of throw rugs to keep them from transition, I think this rather thin and would keep the back nice. you might consider using a dab of glue - maybe a dot of hot glue-on each knot (I would do a set of stories, then gum row before moving to the next row).
