TIP<br />
for unruly thread<br />
Elaine Theriault<br />
Metallic thread, invisible<br />
thread and very fine weight<br />
threads come to mind when<br />
I think of unruly threads. You<br />
pull them out of your thread<br />
box only to find that yards of<br />
it have come off the spool<br />
and are hopelessly tangled.<br />
So how does one keep better<br />
control of the thread inventory?<br />
Buy light weight tablecloth<br />
vinyl. Cut it into narrow strips<br />
– about 1" by 6".<br />
Wrap the strip tightly around<br />
the spool ensuring you get<br />
the loose end tucked in.<br />
Inexpensive and easy to do<br />
– saves time and money. No<br />
more thread tangles. z<br />
