David Orr -
That is one really nice thread carriage! Well done - you might consider ONE thing. Spreading the distance between the two outside posts to accommodate larger (4oz) spools. If you ever decide to start selling these I'd be interested for sure

If you are intending to do "fancy wraps" - a good thread carriage will help if you will do one thread at a time. If you are thinking of doing multiple threads at the same time you will probably find that you will be better able to control the thread by running it through your fingers - especially if you are thinking 3 or more simultaneously. Personally I prefer the one-thread-at-a- time look. It just takes more time to do. If you are going to do multiple threads at a time you should look into making a multi-thread feed box. Basically a plastic box that can hold multiple spools of thread which are fed through separate holes in the top or side of the box. I think there may be photos in the photo section here. If not maybe someone who uses that method will post a photo here for you.

I think I will stick with 1thread for now. i do use multiple threads for tiger wraps or longer base wraps.

As above - I prefer the "one thread at a time" look. Takes a bit longer but the end result is a tighter looking pattern
