Whilst some reels have a nick or groove that the tail end can be secured into, some don't. I generally use 1000/1300m reels. Aurilfil thread doesn't but can be pulled tightly and securely around at the bottom of the wound thread on the reel, but Glide doesn't seem to work like this and I am struggling to keep these reels tidy.
I am sure that someone must have some magic trick for this?
I went to the dollar store and bought the elastic child ponytail holders, works like a charm, I think there are about 20 to a pack $1.00
