Tied:
I make three wraps and then hitches to start my bobbins. As I like to make
yardages, the bobbins <will> all run out in the middle somewhere. The
hitches and wraps give me enough thread to work to a convenient spot to make
the switch to a new thread. Undoing two hitches worth at the end still leave
one to hold the bobbin secure while I try to work to an area of clothstitch.
Untied bobbins with only an inch of thread left on them will be a major fuss
to work with.

Thank you all for explaining why you tie your thread to the bobbins -
I don't, but at least now I will remember *why* it is a good idea and
will only have myself to blame if I lose a bobbin because of it not
being tied. It also gives me a reason to be more patient with another
lacemaker who is pedantic about "it MUST be done this way" but can
never explain WHY!
