How easy does it tie off on a clothes line, as far as a knot after stringing to create 5 lines?

It's heavy, stiff wire, so it's not real easy, but you can tie it off without too much trouble with a pair of pliers, and once you do it stays there.

I tie the cord through one hole and the body. Not just a knot to stop the cord pulling through. Pass the cord through both holes so you have a loop at the end where you tied the knot. The cord must be thin enough to pass through the hole twice.

yes it ties just like rope with no slipping. Keep in mind once the knot is tied and pulled tight it will not be undone. Using a draw weight scale used for setting up compound bows the line broke at 88lbs no matter what knot i used. Hope this helps

No. But I have been satisfied with just looping a knot in the middle to shorten it.

It will unravel into 2-3 "strings" if you do not tie it off. It will not rip apart into fibers, but it will shed little. I have it wound around the neck of several empty water bottles that are serving as bird feeders & the string is holding up fine out side. I do have it knotted & the free ends have unraveled. Hope this helps.

Well, I tied a good knot about two inches down from the top, kept it loose, and hung it on a shepherd's hook, putting the metal through the knot. I pulled it as tight as I could after that. This made it difficult to fill, but I wasn't sure what else to do with it. That was about ten days ago, and it's still holding strong. I have a feeling I'll have to do something different soon. I wasn't expecting a plain rope.

It is very easy. There is a pull out that tells you which number to use for each of the stitches.. The pull out gives you the number and shows the stitch so I think you would be happy with it. I had never sewn before and I had no problems..

don't know exactly...maybe a foot...but what I do is tie knots to shorten or expand. It works. I wish I would have purchased this 2 years ago. I love it.

I use the same knots as I do with monofilament, I just double up on the wraps to account for the slipperiness of the braid (eg 12-14 wraps for an improved clinch knot). Never had an issue.

its easy until you get to the loop at the top --in other words picture you put the spool on the top you go down one side and up the other the metal looper that comes out of the top should come out a little more so you can attach the thread there---I always have to use tweezers to get the thread in.....after that it is easy. its good you asked this question because it is a good little machine and this is the only part that annoys me about it....I wonder what others have to say!!

Try their Q Knot original. I think they made Q knot "pro" to be tighter for pro use or someone need it to be more securer for heavy duty use. Anyway, their q knot original is much easier to use and you will use it to tie everything.

They're just knotted, so you unknot the loose one and tie it tighter. Easy peasy!

I have done both. I bought a single spool at ~$8 (has ~30 ft). I then bought some bulk line, ~400ft, for $6. I put the new spool on my trimmer. And then manually wound about 30 ft onto the empty spool. It took me all of 2 minutes. Its much easier then some other spools I have tried to add line too. I prefer the line I bought too compared to what comes on it. It seems to last a little longer while edging. I just picked it up at my local Ace.

It is a little hard to explain (I think they might have a tutorial online?) but you slip the tie through a little hole, wrap the balloon around & pull. It's pretty easy.

Well, let's see......when I bought new line for my clothes dryer, I got plastic coated wire. Then I pulled the line from one arm to the other, put the wire thru the next hole and again to the other side, and so on. Put a knot on one end, and when you have pulled the wire thru all the holes in both arms knot the other end. I did not worry about a different thread, it works just fine my way. Hope I was of help.

Nope, no ties...... if you're handy with needle and thread or know someone who is, you could probably make some, though.

If you remove the end cap off the end you pull out to hook up, then slide out the full length cover. You now have the exposed, knots that tie the lines in place. I'd recommend not to untie, but push excess line through the knot and pull tight to hold in place. Do this again with any other lines that are too loose. Don't cut off excess as you may find these lines too tight in future, then you will have line to push back out, if needed. Good luck.
