[Nfb-krafters-korner] spool of thread

[Blindhands at aol.com]

Watch out for Jake.  Wisty has picked up my spools of threads from  time to 
time and nawed on it.  What a mess and I hate to toss it out  because I get 
that quilting thread that has like 1000 yards on it.
 
If they are the spools that have a paper glued on the end of it, run your  
finger around the top as there is sometime a groove in it.  That is where  
they pull the thread in to end the winding and glue the paper on to hold  it. 
 The ones I get have a bit of a bigger challenge finding the end so I  
either wet my finger a little and run it around the spool or take a pin and  
kinda slip it under 1 strand and run the pin toward the outside middle 
 
Good luck and tell Jake leave your thread alone.

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!
