Making the Hitch

The hitch used to prevent the thread unwinding from the bobbins depends on the direction in which the bobbins are wound.

Making a hitch with thread wound clockwise

Making a hitch with thread wound anti-clockwise

Making a double hitch

If you have made the hitch correctly and the bobbin still unwinds try a double-hitch (shown on the right) which may hold better. Make two loops on top of each other, instead of the single one.
