I am not a fan of tying thread to bobbins either unless it is the only way for the person I'm teaching to get on with lacemaking. Fiddling with knots is time-consuming. Use more thread - it is the least of our expenses, yes?
I use the amount of thread on the bobbin as an anchor, *a tool in itself* and I don't skimp on the thread unless I have to, in which case I will have a leader cord on the bobbin.
