Which end of thread off spool should be knotted??
I read somewhere long ago that the end of the thread you knot can control the "fraying" of the thread. Anyone know which is the proper end to knot off a spool of quilting thread - the first end pulled off or the end you cut from spool??? Thanks in advance!

i don't know if i'm right or not, but i always knot the end that came off the spool first
|
I read that with the way the thread is now manufactured it doesn't make any difference. I can't tell any difference.

You should knot the end you cut from the spool. It doesn't matter too much for most threads nowadays, but there are definitely some where it makes a difference.
|
I thread the needle off the spool and knot where I cut the thread.

Thank you all for your responses!

I have read that by knotting the cut end you will be pulling the thread through the fabric with the twist so it frays less, (but I think the information may be out of date and most modern threads don't care).
