Good evening, everyone!
I've done a search through this group and I'm not able to find anything on my topic question, so I'll create a post.
How do you organised your threads? I bought these plastic floss cards from Spotlight, and at first I thought they were a good idea because they'll last longer than cardboard ones, but I'm having troubles with the threads coming undone.
4-6 strands on one seems to hold well, but when there's only two, they start to unravel.
Any tips on how to manage this? Or should I start over with something else? I'm contemplating tiny pieces of painters tape to keep them together. I don't even know if I'm wrapping them correctly.
Also tried trusty Google, but I don't think I've used the right key words. A lot of results are not giving me what I need.
Thanks in advance. ๐ค
I tried those as well, but gave up immediately. I just use little squares of card, with two nicks cut in one end. Wind the thread / floss around and tuck the loose end in the nick to hold it. Works much better. I also find it's much quicker to unwind thread from - it doesn't have those blobs on the corners, so you can just pull the thread to the side and it unwinds.
Do you find at all that the thread gets caught in the nicks, though, and frays?
No - the nicks are on the end, similar to the plastic versions, so the thread is slipping along the clean edges.
Oh, I gotcha. That looks secure, I'll definitely consider it, thank you.
