    What a great idea. I can even see this being used on the top of thread spools to keep the end where you can see it to begin. Thanks for sharing because our local PBS doesn't carry Fons and Porter anymore no matter how much I whine.

    Super, and so simple. I have a bunch of these things and never use them. I've tired several methods to reduce the tangle, and none are all that helpful until now. Thanks for taking the time to send a picture.

    A clever idea! I like to use reinforcements for other jobs around the office, so I have plenty of them to use.
