One of my class has the
most awful trouble with threads unwinding, and nothing any of us
can suggest makes any difference.

To anyone not sure of the double hitch, it's not two separate hitches. It just means that, when you make the loop around the head, loop it a second time in the same (clockwise or counter) before putting the turn-back in place. When the thread goes twice around the head, that adds friction so it's less likely to unravel while tensioning.

Try a triple hitch if the double one persists in slipping.
