It does make a difference :wink:
Thread the needle, then take off the amount of thread you need and cut it. The thread won't tangle as much this way, due to the way it is manufactured. If you thread the needle with the other cut end, it will twist up and knot a lot more :D:D:D
I agree with Amma - this is the method I use. Have also noticed that some of my threads from France have a left - hand twist rather than a right hand one which is on the other brands. Folk say it can't be...however, I can see it and the thread is more likely to knot if threaded the 'wrong' directional way.
