Oh, my gosh! I was using thread from a bobbin just this morning while hand sewing a binding, and I had so many nasty snarls, it about drove me to drink! I wish I'd have read this thread before I started instead of after I'm done. It never occurred to me that I was threading the wrong end onto the needle. Duh, for sure! Thanks for the heads up. I should have thought of this myself, but didn't. It's a lesson I think I'll not forget, though.
