This statement reminded me of a class I took where we were using very fine silk. We were told to wind it on the bottom half of the bobbin thread area, and to put the hitch at the top, just under the knob, on the bare wood. This prevented the hitch from getting lost in the winds of thread. With the very fine silk, finding a lost hitch would have been impossible. The hitch was always visible, and could be easily loosened with a pin if it didn't unwind correctly.
