The photos from one to nine show positions and finger settings for tying the whip finish accompanied by descriptive text. The sequence for tying the Whip Finish using only the fingers, is illustrated with photos below. To make the moves easier to see and understand the hook and thread are oversize and should be viewed in a flowing sequence. . By using the ring finger as the leading finger, the loop is threaded over the hook shank. The thread is kept taut with the other hand.
Every repetition results in a new turn of the thread.
Finish the rotating motions by sliding one of the fingers out of the loop. Trim off and finish with a drop of tying varnish. For extra help there is an animated version here . All rights reserved.
