There isn't really a right or a wrong direction to wind bobbins, but
you do have to make the hitch correspond to the direction the bobbin is
wound. You should also make sure that all the bobbins on the pillow
are wound the same way or you will get confused when trying to lengthen
them.
Some people can wind one way with continentals and the other way with
midland bobbins, I personally can't, I always wind clockwise (looking
down at the head).

Hi De Hi
Thank you all for your answers to this question. I am using my SMP
bobbin
winder for winding the bobbins so will have a look which way they are
wound I
presumed it is the right way. It is the first time I have heard of
left or
right hand hitches so another thing for me to look at. It is so
frustrating
when using thin thread and then having to undo to lengthen the thread
as I
have to use a pin to separate the thread and I have had an occasion on
the
piece I am working on that the thread has broken later on down the
lace.
