I usually use my earring because it’s easily accessible and I don’t have to get up and get anything else XD. Plus it’s not to pointy so I don’t have to worry about piercing and breaking strands of floss.

I use something called a “seam ripper”. I got two with one of my packs of embroidery floss. Its really easy to use, and its a lot more convenient, since the grip is as thick of a pencil, the actual sharp part is like a blunt needle, and it comes with a cap. It doesnt pill thread as much since the tip is just thick enough to get in the knot. Because the sharp part is pretty thick, it doesnt bend, so you could probably buy one, and never buy again.

Be careful tho, because they have a sharp edge, so if your too aggressive on the knot, you can end up chopping half of it of strand-wise. I use the side without the edge, i loosen the knot, then i undo the rest with my finger, its really not hard even with short nails if the knot is loose.
Its really nice nonetheless, super cheap, and would highly recommend it to anyone who has problems with thread pilling because of shart safety pins.

Heres a link to some on amazon, but it can be found in the sewing/thread section of any craft store.
These ones have 4 thick and 4 thin ones.

my favorite method is using a thumbtack. it’s easy to grip when you’re trying to remove a mistake

What I do to untie knots is a paperclip but I bend it so the end is sticking out. Hope this helps!

I used to use my nails but I’ve found that a safety pin works much better for me

I use a safety pin (usually the small ones) to get between the knots and to push out other string 😊

this doesn't always happen for me. in fact, when this happens i just tend to sell the bracelet for reduced or not at all. but when i've chosen a really nice colour scheme with a nice pattern then i will dig out some good old pins. safety pins don't work for me so i prefer sewing pins. sewing needles also work quite well too.

I use a dental pick or a seam ripper. Sometimes I'll use a T-pin. If I don't have access to any of these, I'll resort to a safety pin. I do like the earring idea, though. I'll have to try that.

I use a seam ripper it only takes 5 secs and it doesn’t fray or rip the string
