If you follow a couple suggestions, you will never have a tag end in the middle of a wrap again. First, insuring you have the tieoff loop wrapped in early enough helps out a lot. Now if your putting decorative warps on thw outside of the main wrap then it gets wrapped in as soon as the thread is caught. That's step one, giving yourself some room to pull a small tag back through, without it ever coming out in the first place.
Second, once you cut the thread and put it through the loop, pull it up tight against the end of the wrap, then it is stuck and you can use both hands. Cut it as close to the loop as needed to pull it back under the wrap, but without it coming out at all. On big underwraps or on large guides, this can be loose and if you left a good 1/4 inch when you tied in the loop, then you can pull it threw easily. Smaller wraps require cutting close to the loop, smaller still ditto, but then pull at an angle so the thread is not pulled 90 degrees to the wrap.
If that makes sense you will not likely ever have to worry. If I miss judge I just trim it close and worry about a closer trim after the first coat of finish goes on. That way if you nick a thread, you won't loose the wrap.
