Wash away basting thread tips: 1. When using wash away basting thread- it seems to work better in the bobbin than in the top. Some people use this thread in both the top and bottom; we usually suggest one or the other. When you have stitched with this thread- REMOVE the bobbin thread and mark this bobbin carefully. Store in a plastic baggie in a dry place. 2. Be sure not to lick your wash away basting thread when threading the needle- if you use it in the top. It does not taste good. 3. It is a good idea to store your wash away basting thread in the same baggie with the clearly marked bobbin. Using a permanent marking pen- mark the baggie as wash
