When winding bobbins for small projects, the process of measuring off a yard or two for one bobbin and then another yard or two for its mate is not a problem. But for larger projects where you need a lot more on your bobbins, the best solution is to use a bobbin winder. Measure out a yard, and count how many rotations it takes to wind up that yard, and then multiply this amount times the number of yards you want on your bobbin. If it takes 8 rotations to fill one bobbin, then fill the first bobbin with 16 rotations, and then cut your thread. Wind the mate with 8 rotations off the first bobbin, and your pair is equal - and you don't have to deal with piles of thread getting tangled and dirty Clay - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
