Keep Your Threads From Unwinding

Just a quick tip I discovered tonight...  A long time ago when I bought my embroidery machine I went a little crazy and bought a HUGE batch of embroidery thread.  So many colors that I am set for life.  However, due to the tangled mess I get when I use a new color, I am always hesitant to use the colors.  Tonight I discovered a way to curb this.  I stuck a straight pin into the thread, wrapping the loose around it once and there you go!  No more mess!
