I was also taught to wind only and have been ok over the years. I tend to put more thread rather than tiny bits as in the early days I tried to avoid bringing in a new thread. These days I know I can do that without issues but I prefer to complete it in one go if I can. Obviously bigger projects need much more thread but often mean I bring in new threads. I do this with two bobbins held together while they work into the pattern. When they do start to get low I find a suitable change over point in the pattern rather than wait until it is right out. This means that I throw away 6 inches or so of thread but thats fine with me. Threads are relatively inexpensive. If I spoil the lace that can be hours of time and pleasure wasted. Sue T Dorset UK
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. __,_._,___ - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected]. For help, write to [email protected]
