As one who doesn't keep *anything* else tidy, I can suggest another reason for keeping the threads the same length. This makes handling the bobbins a whole lot easier, and will probably also help with the renegades. If one tether is longer than the other(s) when manipulating a quartet, it's hard to twist/cross them without them tangling--unless you hold the longer one such that its tether is flopping loose (so the bobbin is in the same place as the rest of the quartet). This *encourages* the hitch to leap off! This may be the root of her problem. When the teacher tidies up her pillow, the bobbins behave. Then when she Penelopes and rewinds to odd lengths, she has trouble again. Robin P.
