Thread the line through the last added EP. Connect the EP and R from the last layer. Finish back in the last added EP. Tighten. Sew the line in. Create a loop in the line between the EP and R. Thread the line through it twice and tighten it. Thread the line through the R and the EP. It should be possible to pull the knot into the R. Thread the line through the R and the EP. Tie another knot, this time threaded through only once. Thread the line through several more R and EP. Cut it off.
