Thank you all ver, very much for all your tips. Sharing your experience with me is very much appreciated. I will print your tips and will try them. Hope I can solve my problems, I have had several beautiful bands ruined becuase of stray threads appearing where they are not supposed to be!

Moving the pack back and forth several times will get the job done, but it works better if you have good tension. I like to have a little bit of resistance to my attempts to move my pack; that way I know that the threads I am moving around are nice and straight, and unlikely to get hung up and stick like yours sound like they are doing. Hope that helps, and keep up the work! Practice makes progress! Albreda/Susan We found the real 'Hotel California' and the 'Seinfeld' diner. What will you find? Explore WhereItsAt.com.
