I used to knot the end that was cut from the spool and I would get twisted. I also used the thread heaven without luck. You will get some twists, but not like before.
Now I take a few needles and thread them onto the thread still on the spool. I do not cut the thread. Then knot the end. When you need thread, hold the end needle near the knot, pull the amount needed and cut thread. Knot end holding the other needles still on the spool. Pull the needle where you want it on the cut thread.

While stitching binding, when you get to the end of the thread, make a quick knot with the needle (loop needle around stitch and pull), then make a quilter's knot (wrap thread around needle and pull needle thru loops) about 1/2" from the quick stitch and put needle under open binding area and pull knot through to the inside seam. You can tack again if you want inside the seam. Then bind over the inside knots.
