I'll call this the "feed side." As long as the flat faces away, the thread seats in the blood grove and the loop forms in the correct side every time.

Looks really good. How's that new rounding jack working out?

I see that in the little folds I get. I tried small cuts, which was a disaster. I'll keep digging. Thank you again. You are a wealth of knowledge.
