So, I guess what I’ m trying to say is when you’ re stitching your blanket, it is better, in the long run, to use shorter pieces of thread as they don’ t get tangled whereas, like the unlucky cobbler, longer threads will get tangled and knotted so will slow you down.
Ok...
Thanks, I’ ve never heard that story before, I’ ll keep that in mind.
Anyway, I need to go get my papers, but think of that tale every time you think you are saving time cutting a long piece of thread, to avoid rethreading the needle, as it will actually cost you time in the end.
