This might help you. You can make 2-3- or 4 turn wraps with metallic thread. For a 4 turn wrap:........Wind the tread on as usual using 2 turns , then overlap (do not cut off the excess tag end). Then place in your pull loop , take two more turns and pull it though the loop. This leaves you with two tag ends. Grab the two tag ends and pull them apart from each other tightening the treads. Then cut off both tag ends. The trick here is not to cut off the first tag end like you would normally do when continuing on with a wrap.........Hope that helps........Ed
