Thread Stretchers ~ Can’t do without tool ! What a difference the Thread Stretchers make to simplify stitching, by taking those pesky knots and twist of the thread. Wrap the thread ( especially Frost and Lola ) around the foam part of the rod, one at each end - like a piece of dental floss on your fingers - pull, you can feel the tension of the tread releasing. I usually hold for a few seconds, release and pull again ( also a good exercise ). It makes stitching so much easier. I use to use my fingers to stretch the thread - it makes it easier on the fingers too - no more thread cuts. You may want a couple sets to keep in different project bags.
