Rope… bedsheet… it doesn't matter! What matters is that the part highlighted in red if you put pressure a certain way will either TIGHTEN or LOOSEN thus making the knot undo itself! The trouble is… how do you when hanging it all up get the red part of the rope to be in a place where it tightens rather than loosens? Where do you place it in your anchor points? THAT'S the trouble I've been facing!!!

Im don't know much about rope tying or anything but I think youre supposed to place a Stopper knot on that part to keep it from slipping

The knot stops it from undoing itself but again HOW do you set it up to where it tightens? Because although the stopper knot stops itself from undoing the slipknot, it does NOT however stop the noose itself from loosening… when you NEED it to tighten…

Hmm... I dunno how to explain it. You just take the end piece that sticks out and wrap it behind itself and into the loop that is created. I was able to do it with a short piece of rope

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying, but you might be confusing the Slip Knot with the Noose Knot (another link for the Noose Knot). It's called the Noose Knot and not a Slip Knot.

You also need to add a stopper knot at the free end of the Noose Knot. A Noose Knot with a stopper knot at the free end is called an Arbor Knot (here is a video on how to tie it). Usually it isn't shown like that in tutorials, but you need to tie the stopper knot as close to the Noose Knot as possible, and not leave a gap.

In your picture, you're covering half of the knot with your finger, so it's hard to tell exactly what you're doing. It looks like the red part might be the part that you need to tie to the anchor point, and the part that's covered by your left hand might be the one where the stopper knot should go. Again, it's hard to tell, so I'm just guessing.

Here are some illustrations:

I actually found a video doing this. It worked! The noose tightens instead of loosens!!! 😁😁😁. Though now I'm having trouble finding it again… :(. Nevermind it's all good! :). Thank you! :).
