If I may say so - a uniquely Tamara method ;) I use mostly single head continentals; if winding by hand, I take the thread up and down at angles, as I do for yarn around a nostepinne/stick. Some old midlands bobbins I bought on ebay, still with some thread on, were wound neatly parallel.
With my nifty pocket-size bobbin winder, I have to guide the thread so that it doesn't build up in one part and flop around the neck else - and it is going on parallel, but these I wind very full, then undo a length, enough for the tether plus some to wind at an angle to keep the hitch from getting lost.
