Wind the thread on the lower portion of the thread area of the bobbin, and make the hitch at the top just under the head of the bobbin where no thread is wound. The hitch has the support of the head but is not on top of the wound thread, thus the hitch is never 'lost' in the windings. Alice in Oregon>
I may have asked this before, but I have noticed that people wind their thread onto the bobbins differently. Some put the thread all along the neck, especially if the bobbin has a grooved head, others wind it at the bottom of the neck but some wind the thread all near the top of the bobbin. I always wind my thread the whole length of the neck but if I am only winding on a little, I do it near the top of the neck. Are there any rules on how it should be put on the bobbin? I know there are no lace police but I wondered if anyone has been told how to correctly do it.
