Minimizing Tangles

Because of my diverse customer base I buy individual packets of string rather than large coils. The convenience of a reel is that the string rarely tangles as do individual packets, depending on the amount of coil memory in the string. I use a Gamma Progression II portable machine and like most portables, they have small rubber legs. One day I decided to put the coil of string under my machine so the leg was in the center of the coil and see if it I could just pull the string like I do on a large coil, and sure enough it worked. Rarely do I get a tangle, but I need to take my time. Pull it too hard or fast and it may start to knot. It’s working for me, and it saves me from getting frustrated over tangles.
