Winding invisible thread on bobbins OR learning the hard way
When they say not to wind invisible thread too tightly, they really mean it. I was winding a bobbin last night, thinking I was doing well because I was going nice and slow. I heard a couple of little cracking sound and just thought I was leaning too hard on the extension table (it was late, I was tired, I SHOULD have been in bed). So I'm just backing up from the table when ZING! the top pops off the bobbin and hits me in the face. Coils and coils of nylon thread flew up into the air like snakes out of the trick can of peanut brittle. Glad it didn't get me in the eye! This is the hot mess I was left with.

Lesson learned, I will pay more attention next time. Any tips for proper winding of invisible thread bobbins. Do they sell prewound bobbins with nylon thread? I have wound them before with no problem. This was a different brand of thread than I usually use, so maybe it just stretched more. Then relaxed on the spool and expanded.
