Couple of question for you experts:

#1 - you know when you pull the thying thread back too far and a little comes out between the wraps (when finishing up a wrap)?whats the best way to get rid of that little tuff of thread w/o having to redo the entire wrap? I have tired using a lighter, but that just makes a hard little ball of thread.

#2 when using single foot guides. How many wraps do you put in front of the foot to lock it in? I have been using four. What say you guys & gals?

Thanks
