First Rib Stitches

[Tomcat]

Hi all, well I started stitching this weekend for the first time, I'm starting on the elevators because they're relatively small and I dont' waste a whole bunch of time if I have to re-do stitches. Which by the way I have stitched the L/H elevator twice because I wasn't happy with it the first time. I'm tying the modified seine knot with the runner on the inside of the fabric, I don't have much trouble getting the knot tight, but I have had a bit of an issue during the last step of the knot when you pull the cord attached to the needle tight to finish off the knot and pull up the "loop". I find that during this step is when the knot will loosen up sometimes, I've been trying to hold my finger over the knot while pulling but sometimes it still loosens up a bit. Anyway, here's some progress shots:
