Thread: Which end of the thread to thread the needle with.....
I figured out some time back, that two Very Very Famous Quilters always mention to *thread the needle with the leading end of the thread as it comes from the spool, and I thought they were saying the same thing, for a couple years, until I noticed one of them said to *tie the knot in the end of the thread you poked thru the needle*, and the other Very Famous Quilter said *to make sure the end you poked thru the needle dangles, and the knot goes in the other end LOLOL Now, I have also heard that some large cones of thread sometimes DO get rewound onto smaller spools, which would reverse the leading end.. so the end advice, I think, is, to pay attention to which end you poked thru the eye and which end you tied the knot with, and if it tangles a lot, try doing it the opposite way, for THAT spool....
Yes I have heard of Z twist and S twist but have never encountered anyone who thought one was meant for right handed people and one for left handed... hehe
