Laura Sandison replied to Sari Mansfield's discussion Binders for Ulrike Vorlcker Series ? in the group Tools and Equipment

Laura Sandison replied to Sari Mansfield's discussion Binders for Ulrike Vorlcker Series ? in the group Tools and Equipment

"I love mine, too! Some of them, I keep a bit of cotton wound onto them before winding the other thread. For some threads, silk for example, I triple hitch on the head. And for heavier threads, I just put the hitch on the thread on…"
