I do not tie my threads onto a bobbin. I hold the thread and wrap around the
thread being held to anchor the thread. This is the way I was taught. Also I
have found when I wind a tatting shuttle I do the same thing. I never tie my
threads. The only time I tie threads is when I tie two Honiton threads together
as you are suppose to. For me when I get to the end of a bobbin or shuttle I
don't want to be untying the knots. I have a tendency to over wind my
bobbins....or if I am doing an edging...I fill the bobbins because my intension
is to make the edging until the thread is all gone... so I end up throwing
thread away usually that I take off the bobbins unless I am planning on using
the same thread in another project right away.
I am not a bobbin collector for I don't have money for that...so I
don't keep
bobbins laying around just because I have thread left on them. I just take the
thread off...say good bye to it and chuck in the garbage and put my bobbins I
do
have right back in to use. I have enough thread to go to generations of lacers
after me.
Anywho...whoo....whoo...that is my opinion on to tie or not to tie...that is
the question.
Tomorrow I will be in Ithaca and I can't wait...signing here...vacation here
I come.... even if only for a couple of days.
Wind To Thy Wings,
Sherry
