Yes, I've come across that way of operating too. Luckily, nobody that I've
seen on this group has that kind of hidden agenda. We don't all agree all
of the time but that is good for discussion and learning.

As with everything in life - it's easy if you know how! :-)

So if I just leave it loose, won't it make the last stitch come loose?

Not if you leave a decent tail. It wil loosen a little, but then you
snug it up at the time you weave in or tie off the tail.

Now relax!! This is how we all do it. It works.

Just pull it to tighten the stitch. Weaving the end in when finishing
will keep it tight.

Have you read to the end of the pattern? At some point, probably
under a section called "finishing" it should tell you what to do with
all the ends.
