Hi everyone
All the talk about hitches on bobbins reminded me of when I was teaching my daughter and some of her friends to make lace some years ago. I discovered that one of the girls always wound her bobbins in the opposite way to me and the others (winding towards herself, rather than away). She always did this so when I showed her how to do hitches I had to teach myself how to do them the other way round so that I could teach her. I never had a teacher myself and learned with a Dryad lacemaking kit which showed you how to put hitches on the top of the bobbin rather than on the thread. I found that they were always slipping and started to put them on the thread. I have found that this usually works unless the thread is quite thick.
