Before you start your project, it is important to secure the cord since it has to be fastened while you are working. There are two methods you can try, based on your personal preferences and the nature of the project. You can either work vertically or horizontally.
If you prefer to knot vertically, it would be best to hang the cord by a loop or dowel and fasten it to a chair, a doorframe, or a rack. Find a place of suitable height so it does not put too much strain on your wrists and arms while you work. If you feel any type of discomfort, make sure you take a break or find a different place to work.
