How is a paper quill made?
Paper quills can be made for any kind of boat shuttle. Cut a rectangle about 4″x 5″. Round the corners and trim it to fit your boat shuttle. Place the paper on the spindle near the outside thinner end of the spindle. Wrap the paper around the spindle and begin to turn the handle of the winder, clockwise. When the paper is nearly all wound onto the spindle, push the paper in to the thicker part of the spindle to tighten the paper. Insert the end of the thread into the quill as you turn the handle. The thread will then start winding around the paper. If you find it hard to do, make some paper quills and glue them together.
