You don't need to cut the thread untill you're finished Smiley

A video is worth a thousand words! Thanks for sharing.
1/2primitive:
Thanks to your video, I've developed my own way of doing it. I grab the binding material and the toothpick in the same hand (my right) and continue around the shaft, opening the feather and inserting the string right afterwords. I can spiral wrap a shaft a whole lot better and quicker than I used to. Thanks for posting that!
