Basic sheath making question

Hi Guys,

I've made a few decent sheaths, but the one fault in all of them is I do not know how the secure the first and last stitchs without using knots. I know that's wrong, so could someone enlighten me as to the proper technique? Oh, and please keep it as simple as possible, I'm new to this craft.

Thanks,

Dave
