I've not done this but it sounds interesting. So, to answer your question, Pattia, it sounds like the very 1st square would possibly get that gummed up thing going on but after that, you never cut your thread..... at least you wouldn't cut the thread until the thread runs out and you have to start over again....... I can see where this would need a little preparation.... getting all those squares ready and sitting there for you. Hmmmm..... gotta think about this.
