I'm with you, Betty Ann! I had not heard of the different twists in
threads either, so I just wound the bobbins, put on a ½ hitch, and made
lace!!!
I still do it that way, too!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have never bothered about the
twist on the thread!
I occasionally have a rogue bobbin hitch - but as it will have come from the
same reel as all the others on the pillow, it is usually due to there not
being much thread on the bobbin. Then a double ½ hitch fixes it!
I am not very "Technical" (nor precise!!) I use a photocopy of the
pricking, covered in contact - no stiff card underneath (I used to prick
through card, but arthritic hands makes that too hard). I just enjoy
lacemaking without too much fuss.
The lace turns out alright, - or not, - as the case may be!!!!!!!!!!!!!
