No this really does work. Thanks for the reminder. Some may think I am a flake but I have noticed during my 40+ yrs of hand quilting that if i get a knot in my thread it is normally in the thread opposite from me...ie: I am right handed and when I get a knot in my double strand thread, it is not the piece of thread closest to me. A dear friend is also a hand quilter and she is left handed. She about freaked when I told her this but later came back and told me discovered this once I had mentioned it to her.....
Happy Stitching!!!

Just curious, am I the only one that uses this technique??
