I make mostly Bucks Point lace with fairly fine thread and I use two hitches
sometime three. This maybe depends on the bobbin as some seem to slip. Also
some heads don't have a deep enough groove to hold the hitch, in which case
I put the hitch on the long neck with the thread.
I use and collect old bobbins and its interesting how many of them have been
worn away on the short neck through wear from the friction of the thread.
Many Jesse Compton bobbins have lost their top through this wear and tear.

Subject: [lace] hitches on the bobbin
Hi De Hi Spiders
Just wondering how many hitches do you do at the top of your bobbins to
told
the thread. I do two on mine but I am finding it a bother when I need to
lengthen the thread is there any other way that is quick to release but
hold
without me finding the bobbin on the floor.
thanks
