    Q: Theresa wrote: "I have enjoyed making the string spinner cards, but the string seems to loosen up after I wind it up and mail it. Then it doesn't fit straight in the hole and won't spin properly. Is there something I can do to keep the tension on the string?"
    A:  Try using embroidery floss instead of dental floss. The dental floss might be a bit too slippery for the sticky tape to hold.
