[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Finding the end of the thread

[Dixie]

Hi Tracy,

How frustrating!

On regular sized spools of thread there is usually a small angled slit in
the edge of the end of the spool in which the thread is tucked.  I usually
take the tip of a needle and try and get underneath that spot where the
thread is tucked in that slit to loosen the thread there.


Do you find that little notch or slit in the edge of the spool on your small
spools?

I have a pack of small spools of thread.  I had a heck of a time finding the
end of the thread on one the other day.  I felt by the nib that supposed to
hold the end.  I ran my nail all over, trying to find an end.  No joy.
Finally, I just poked at it enough to loosen a bit and made my own end,
which is now getting to be a problem, as I knew it would.  
It's been a long time since I had to start a new spool of thread.  Is there
some trick I've forgotten about finding the end?
Tracy
