The recent discussion reminded me of a question I've been meaning to ask. I was taught that for hand sewing the recommendation was to use a single strand of thread, not doubled over all the way, and that you should knot it at the end that was just cut off the spool.? This method would help prevent tangling and twisting as you would be sewing in a compatible direction to the twist of the thread (and I don't remember whether it is S or Z).? Recently someone mentioned that they thought Gutermann was spun in the opposite direction from most sewing thread, and she wondered if she should change knot position for this.
Any ideas? Thanks, Nancy S. U. ________________________________________________________________________ AOL now offers free email to everyone.
