I learned the hard way that if you leave masking tape on
longer than a painter would, the glue sort of cures and
becomes harder to get off than glue that's meant to be
permanent.
Many of you have mentioned that you started off tying onto the bobbin and
your hitch doesn't hold. Now you do not tie and your hitch does hold. What
is the correlation? What does one part have to do with the other? What am
I missing or am I missunderstanding that it really doesn't matter if
I don't think painter's masking tape would leave a residue. I think I'd
rather use a bobbin with some left over yarn and tie to that though.

I do this too, a handful of bobbins with leftover thread are very useful for
eking out a too-short
thread. I'd love to use hackle-pliers, but don't have any yet and my
lace-materials budget this
year is precisely zero so I'm using what I already have and making sure I don't
waste anything...

Yes it might leave adhesive on the bobbin neck although that can be
sanded off. It is an idea as an option for someone who isn't confident
with the loose thread method, and can't handle knots.
Whatever works...
I suppose if one knew one's habits, one could apply a tiny bit of a
hooks-and-eye dot
I 'tie' the thread on with a slip knot/noose. I can then use the thread until
it is just the length of the 'leader' and then add a new one along side.
Simple and efficient!
At first I just wrapped around the tail; I don't remember how many bobbins I
chased down before I caught on that there was

Could do, although it would be a secure anchor, longterm and knotless.
It was just a thought and might appeal to someone, for whatever
reason.

I started out tying. When you're a beginner there are so many occasions when
your hitch undoes itself and your bobbin suddenly leaps off your pillow and
clatters onto the floor, and it helps so much if you can just haul it in again
on its little tether.
Then I found out what a pain it is to
As others have mentioned, a leader cord around the bobbin is useful
for tying short ends of your lace thread of choice. Yes tying the
thread to the bobbin works but I think it should be the option, not
the other way around
(you could also use a tiny piece of tape)
