I honestly double the thread up so that it’s a little tougher and then I just tie a regular knot at the end, but a few times. Hide the knots and you’re good.

I think I’m stuck at 0. What kind of knot is used to keep both ends of the thread together?

I don’t knot the thread like in the picture. I anchor it into the fabric.
1 - Pass the thread through the fabric once, leaving a short tail. 2 - Pass it through the same spot to form a loop, keeping that tail from step 1. 3 - Pass it through the loop, but not all the way to form a second loop. 4 - Hold the tail, pull the second loop to tighten the first loop down to the fabric. 5 - Pass your thread through the second loop and tighten down to the fabric. (Sometimes I do a third loop before this step, but not always.) You have now anchored your thread.

The european death knot usually works pretty well. Or you could use a weaver’s knot, but it’s not as bulky. The ‘overhand’ family of knots is a pretty good bet for whenever you want a knot that absolutely will not come untied under tension.
