Does that student have her pillow very flat - ie parallel to the table
so that there is no tension whatsoever on the threads as they lie on
the pillow? Only other suggestion is that her Richard Ives bobbins are
*very* smooth and thus allow the hitch to slip.

Jane, Mary and the Spiders,
This thread brings sparks a great interest in me! One of my class
has the
most awful trouble with threads unwinding, and nothing any of us can
suggest
makes any difference.
Most of my class members use my threads (?) and the bobbins the lady is
question uses are Richard Ives' - I have lots of his, and I and the
rest of
the class have no trouble at all but - this one lady seems to spend
all her
time rewinding and rehitching threads. So I don't think it can be the
bobbins, or the threads per se - we must all be doing something
incorrectly!
Which, of course, is very aggravating for her! We have tried extra
hitches, which works until one wants to lengthen the threads, winding
the
'wrong' way ie. counter clockwise, and whatever the rest of the class
suggests but - no joy.
Can I prevail upon you all to give some answers to this? I will
await the
replies with bated breath!
Thanks to you all -
Carol - in Suffolk UK - looking forward to Sheringham Lace Day on the
9th
April!

I started using the double head, but even though I had pre-wound then
hung
the bobbins for a day, I had problems with them unwinding.
