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.
