Tip
Tip: Hold the bobbin in the palm, gripped mainly by thumb and index finger so the spool spins freely
How to do it: Grip the bobbin in the palm with thumb and index finger, allowing the spool to spin freely
Mistake it fixes: Gripping a bobbin so the spool cannot spin
Why it works: A free-spinning spool delivers thread smoothly. A restricted grip causes jerky thread and breakage.
When it matters most: Fly tying, bobbin
