    Hi Hans,

    I believe you know how I look upon your tying, so I hope you'll take this as a question and not as a critique.
    Scott P. wrote, "One thing I noticed at 3:10 (and I'm not criticizing here, just making an observation) - after tying down the quill with 2 wraps and trimming, it appeared to slip a little (about 1/4 turn) at the tie-down."
    Now when I viewed the video I noticed the same thing and wanted to ask: 1)Wouldn't an additional wrap in front of the butt end lock the quill so it doesn't spring back(as it does a little) and loosen up? And 2)Do you think that the type of thread you used, one that's flat multi-fiber, locks the material as well as a type like Uni-Thread given the same number of wraps used?
    Using that thread, wouldn't that quill have been locked in better if you had spun the thread, made 2 wraps on the quill and 1 wrap in front of it. Then you could have whipped finished(as you did) and allowed the thread to unspin and return to its 'flat' consistency. What do you think?


    Oh, I missed one of your posts above but I'm asking anyway, lol.

    Cheers,

    Allan
