a hint on messy threads. not all threads have a place to tuck in the ends. i use strips of plastic to wrap around the thread. I use the thick plastic u use to protect table tops sticks to self.

My Robinson-Anton thread does not have a place for the ends either. I found a plastic tape called "Hugo's Amazing Tape". It can be used over and over, I am very happy with it. H.*.

Good hint, thanks! My Robison-Anton & Isacord have the snap bottoms for the thread, but the Floriani, which I dearly love, does not. This would be a good solution. I might check into that amazing tape, too, but the plastic I have in the closet. Thanks again, Marji

marji, the plastic - would work - I am sure - but you have to cut it in strips - the amazing tape - comes in a roll - just like tape and you just snip off what you need and it is so easy - I know that we all like to use things that are fast and easy to get to. I have used the amazing tape for a couple years now - I have alot of thread - every color in the rainbow and I think that one roll was all that I have ever bought. *4U
i have also usedthe tape but if u have large cones and the thread slips u cut the plastic the full length of reel and plastic is cheaper

Anotehr good idea. Some of our threads can be so unruly! No one likes to untangle thread ends.
