We are all *so* dufferent, aren't we! I love *really* slim Midlands bobbins, and use them for everything! I love spangling, and have spent countless Lace Days spangling bobbins for other people, only because I love to match up beads, and love the finished result.
But - I also *always* hitch the thread on the head - never on the thread itself. There are probably two reasons for that - the first one is that that was the way I was taught to do it, and the second is that I found once or twice when I had a bobbin without a head, that the thread worked OK for a while, then the hitch got lost in the thread, got knotted, and all sorts of trouble happened. So - I now have all Midlands bobbins, all very slim indeed, and all have heads to wind the hitch on! Any poor old bobbin lacemaker who tried to satisfy us all would really and truly have his work cut out, wouldn't he!
