Yes Robin - you are quite right there. Though when the bobbins are wound with lots of thread for a large project then the hitch tends to 'sink' into the rest of the thread. That is when I should use a pin instead of my fingers! Karen in Malta

You shouldn't need to use either pin or fingers to lengthen the leash on the bobbins. If the hitch is correct, just hold the bobbin perpendicular to the leash and roll the bobbin. I use a pin to *shorten* the leash, if necessary, but I always insert it between the windings and the hitch, where there is usually plenty of room to get the pin in without stabbing the thread.
