Cut
along the dotted line on the right side of the label. Don't
cut the other side; it will act as a hinge. (If your label
doesn't have a dotted line, proceed to step two).
Using
your thumb or forefinger, press one end of a length of thread
into the conditioner and pull it across. Use enough pressure
to embed the thread as you pull it through so that it is coated
on all surfaces. (see Photo 1)
Now
pull the thread between your thumb and forefinger, slowly
and firmly, to stretch the thread and remove kinks. Notice
how slick and smooth your thread feels! (see Photo 2)
Pull
the thread between your finger and thumb a second time, only
this time pull it through quickly with light pressure. This
will cause the creation of a small static charge which forces
the thread tails apart, drastically reducing the main cause
of thread knots!
If
your thread is extremely kinky, wrap it around a pencil, place
your thumb on top of the thread, and pull. The ridges on the
pencil will increase the pressure and aid in straightening
the worst wrinkles. (see Photo 3)
Over
time, the surface of your Thread Heaven may become embedded
with tiny fibers. If this happens, use the tip of your scissors
to push Thread Heaven away from the edge of the box. Take
it out, turn it over, and it is like new again!
