"If you don't have a double headed bobbin and have to put your half hitch on the thread itself, there is a way to help prevent the hitch from digging into the thread. When winding the thread onto the bobbin, I wind from top to bottom very closely and then take the thread from bottom to top in a single turn. This leaves a vertical thread on the bobbin that prevents the half hitch from digging into the layer beneath it. I alternate the close horizontal layer with a single vertical thread. I find it helps a lot with sticky linen... Well, I am just full of advice and opinions this afternoon, aren't I? "
Thank you so much for that tip, Patty! I was always puzzled about how to solve that tiny annoyance. Please, fell free to shower us with your advice and opinions :) -Gabrielle (surrounded by tiny children who love to steal my bobbins, but I will get them out of the toybox, soon, and get back to making lace!) - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
