Yes that is it, thanks Jean! I couldn't find my copy anywhere, and I can never remember how to do it without looking at the picture. Actually I guess I don't break enough threads to get enough practice - not complaining either! I agree about it being one of the best hints. I would add my no. 1 hint as well..........when doing Point Ground and you have a weaver coming out of a cloth stitch (or other) section into a ground section, making a catchpin and returning straight in to the cloth stitch secion, a tutor years ago showed me how to cheat. Instead of making the usual CTTT catchpin stitch, make it CTCTTT. This has the effect of ensuring the same 2 bobbins remain as weavers, instead of one half of the pair going off into the ground, which means that you don't get that "pull" which can cause your gimp-around-the-cloth-stitch-section to go slightly out of shape. Not sure if I'm explaining it properly but it works so well. I use CTCTT instead of CTT in honeycomb areas too if the same problem occurs.
