I would like to know how everyone makes their hitches on the bobbins when making bobbin lace. I am suddenly having difficulty with runaway bobbins. I'm working on my large bolster pillow with 57+ pairs of bobbins (boy are they crowded!). The thread is Filatu di Cantu size 40, heavier than I usually use. I've had to use every bobbin I own, so some are heavier and some are lighter. Both the lightweight ones and the heavy ones have trouble with the hitch. I use spangled bobbins and I put my hitch on the thread, not on the head of the bobbin. All my life I've had trouble with hitches on the head, but I've never had trouble like this before with the hitch riding on the thread. I'm sure someone will ask, the thread is wound clockwise on the bobbins. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
