Ah, yes, that brings up the *other* issue re: pins. Threads need time to "learn" where they're supposed to stay. Think about removing the unused thread from a bobbin--it's quite curly. But it was in much bigger loops when it came off the spool. And if you leave it hanging for a day, it will be straight for the tassle at the end of a bookmark. When possible, I usually leave pins in for 24 hours, even if that's a whole lot longer than 2". Robin P.
