I do not tie my threads onto a bobbin. I hold the thread and wrap around the thread being held to anchor the thread. This is the way I was taught. Also I have found when I wind a tatting shuttle I do the same thing. I never tie my threads. The only time I tie threads is when I tie two Honiton threads together as you are suppose to. For me when I get to the end of a bobbin or shuttle I don't want to be untying the knots. I have a tendency to over wind my bobbins....or if I am doing an edging...I fill the bobbins because my intension is to make the edging until the thread is all gone... so I end up throwing thread away usually that I take off the bobbins unless I am planning on using the same thread in another project right away. I am not a bobbin collector for I don't have money for that...so I don't keep bobbins laying around just because I have thread left on them. I just take the thread off...say good bye to it and chuck in the garbage and put my bobbins I do have right back in to use. I have enough thread to go to generations of lacers after me. Anywho...whoo....whoo...that is my opinion on to tie or not to tie...that is the question. Tomorrow I will be in Ithaca and I can't wait...signing here...vacation here I come.... even if only for a couple of days.
