Nah!
when you start to wrap, the first coil and a Half is always a bit sideways and further from the others, as you move further away from your thumb you have more control, so I start as normal .. Make sure my last few coils are really tight and neat, then turn it round .. Unwind the start and redo it as its now further away from your thumb.
least that's how it works for me!
Oh and use an unbent paper clip! Puts the right amount of tension round the wick then.
