Hi De Hi Spiders
Just wondering how many hitches do you do at the top of your bobbins to told

thanks

I trouble understanding this. Surely you must be making your hitch
incorrectly. I know we've discussed this her
Wendy - I think from your description that you are doing two separate
hitches on the bobbin, if so I can understand why it doesn't unroll easily.
Have you tried doing one hitch but with the thread going round the neck of
the bobbin twice instead of once. I do that sometimes with some stubborn
