 Re: Tied my first reed!

Tied two more reeds and scraped them. I even got one to play! I like this reed making business.

I got an idea and put about three reeds worth of thread on a tatting shuttle. If you are curious, tatting is lace making with knots. Shuttles are about 3 bucks (or were last time I bought them) Anyway, the thread stays put very nicely during the first few wraps before crossing over. With the thread tied on the shuttle it can be pulled very tight without thread burn on fingers. Even better, the thread ties so smoothly without unraveling from the spool. Just an idea to throw out there.

I am not an expert by all means, I just saw a small way to help the thread stay put. Have a great night.
