That is a problem when joining thicker twine to thinner twine, try pulling the mesh board really tight while you make the knot depending on the twines that sometimes works.

as i say pk i,m only a novice but when i add the selvege mesh i hold the twine just above the board with my finger and thumb that seems to work for me.don,t get many slip knots at all.just my opinion but worth a try.just nip the twine above the board

try twisting the left bar of the 3z twine over the right bar of the mesh that should enable you to add the thicker twine without a slip knot .

for some strange reason I cant add a picture !!! good old Photo F@kit ..

If you could put a picture up when it's working I would be interested to see it. Mr Goodcat.

Hi, is the knot slipping down below the bend of the mesh you are adding to, sounds like it. as you will know the knot has to above the bend. When addding a thicker twine to a thinner twine this often happens because the normal netting knot (presume you are using that) being the sheet bend works best by using the thinner twine to tie the knot (or at very least same diameter as when making meshes) which is the exact oppositie of what you do when adding a thicker selvedge to a longnet. You need to create 'lump' to make it hard for the knot to slip below the mesh. An easy way to do this is to make a ''round turn'' around the mesh and then finish the knot as normal in the usual way. Bring needle up and through the mesh as normal and hold down twine on mesh board as normal with thumb, then take needle round the back and bring it back ''through the middle'' of the mesh (do not take the needle under this loop at this point as you would when forming a knot, you want a full ''round turn'' around the mesh NOT a knot at this point), now pull needle to remove any slack and hold down twine with thumb again on mesh board as normal (you will now just have a full ''round turn'' NOT a knot around the mesh), now just tie your usual netting knot as normal to finish. What you have done is create a 'lump' with a round turn to stop the knot above slipping below the mesh. Hopefully you can understand what i mean, in practice it is very quick and simple to do.
