Please bear with me as I am new to stringing. I am pretty much self taught 1 week in now and all going well.
One issue I have been running into is my starting knots when I start the crosses. I do not want to use a bulky knot. I have been doing the double half hitch knot to start on the crosses and this has been slipping through the grommet hole. My question is, if I use a starting clamp on my crosses will a double half hitch knot be ok to tie off as a finishing knot rather than a start knot without it slipping through the grommet hole?
