If you tat with an Aero style shuttle you might wonder what it means, exactly, when directions say to "pull off enough thread to fill your second shuttle".

I gathered up all the different threads I have in my stash and hand-wound the bobbins full, but not beyond the edge of the bobbin. Then I unrolled it and measured it and kept a record. I hope the little table that results is useful for you, too.

When I hand-wind I carefully roll the thread onto the bobbin to try to avoid messing up the twist in the thread (I put the bobbin on a pen because I find that easier to "twirl" than the shuttle itself).

Enjoy!

p.s. I don't have a machine handy and I've never even seen size 90 thread so if you can send me information for any of the gaps in the table I'll fill them in.
