Here’s a way to deal with cones of thread to prevent them from unspooling all over the place.
I’m using a spool of twine to demonstrate because It’s much easier to see the procedure. It also stays in place much better than nylon thread.
Make a loop…
pass the loose end around the cone…
feed the loose end through the loop…
pull on the loose end, just a little…
feed the loose end behind itself…
drop the loose end through the loop to make a knot…
pull the loose end to tighten…
Voilà!
Ok, so this isn’t a mind blowing tutorial by any means, but this way is better than trying to tape the loose end of a cone of thread down, especially when it’s nylon thread.
