[Nfb-krafters-korner] spool of thread

[qubit]

I think the end thread goes through a tiny notch on one end of the spool, 
and then is held down by being pasted under the label. If you take your 
fingernail and scrape around for the notch, then try and peel up the label 
right there, you may find the end of the thread.
So has that ever worked for me? Yes, on occasion.  If that fails, recruiting 
a sighted family member is the next approach.
Good luck.

Ok, help, My wonderful son gave me a little sewing box.  So Oopse, I did get
crafting stuff for Christmas, shy smile. All these spools are new, grown
how do you find the end of brand new spools of thread.  What sort of little
tricks do you all have?

This sewing box is cool.  One side has needles in a little sample tube you
get sample perfumes in, seem ripper, threader, safety pins in a little box,
straight pins in another little box, scissors, pin cushion. You close that
side and flip it over and open the other side then you have thirty little
spools of thread. A very thoughtful gift, smile.

What tricks do you use to open and find the beginning thread of new spools?

Becky and Jake who says, just bite the spool in two, arf!
