The talk of problem hitches, left-handed winding, anti-clockwise etc. reminds me of the time that I used teach children on Saturday mornings. (I did it for sixteen and a half years). One girl had great trouble winding clockwise, so I suggested that she look at the head of the bobbin and imagine that it was a clock face, then check with the electric wall clock. The second hand would show the direction to wind the thread. This proved to be a success - no more anti-clockwise and the hitch stayed put. One day the hitch wouldn't stay, and the bobbin thread kept lengthening, the bobbin had been wound anti-clockwise. I asked, "Did you look at the clock?" "Yes," she answered. I looked at the clock. It was going backwards!
