I never heard of it either! Thanks very much! I always have that problem!

You knot the end that is away from the spool because of the way that the thread twists. If you use thread for hand sewing from a wound bobbin, you know the end closest to the bobbin.

Thanks, I'm going to try this. Have used quilter's wax before.
|
Great tips!!!

Just curious, am I the only one that uses this technique?? |
Just used Chap Stick at work for a quick mend. Works great!

Live and learn, thanks for another great tip.

Unfortunately I can't tolerate dryer sheets because of the scents so I use Thread Heaven. Like several other posters I also put the knot on the spool side.
