    Default Tired of loose bobbin threads???

    My friend came up with this idea and it works! It's WONDERFUL! Purchase from your local hardware store some 5/8ths inch tubing (fairly flexible)... cut a slit down the length... open it up and place it onto your cutting mat... slice off widths that will fit into your bobbin and place it on... I LOVE MINE! AND SO CHEAP!!!

    What a great idea! I was just trying to get my bobbins straightened up and was trying to think what I could come up with to help keep the threads from going everywhere.Thanks!

    That's a GREAT idea! Thanks for sharing. The little clip on things you buy at a quilt shop are quite expensive.

    I have a rubber Bobbinsaver into which you put your bobbins. It holds them all in a circle. I don't know how many it holds, maybe 20? In any case it is more than I have. Here is a link: http://www.amazon.com/Bobbinsaver-Bo...bobbin+holders I do think the tubeing idea is a great one, too.

    Fantastic Idea!!! Thank you, I am always trying to clean mine up. I have them in a case but they still unravel to some degree. This will work wonders. Now I just have to remember to remove it when I put it in my machine! lol Hugs, Jan L.
