Cheri, haven't done it yet 'cause haven't even 'sewed' yet (still cutting and making sandwiches) but was planning to use the little 'binder clips' - I have an abundance left over fm 'working days'. Maybe they'll work, maybe not. I'll try the wonder clips, then probably get hooked . . and there ya go . . . . the retailers have our number?!?!?! I have an idea for a product that'll make me $$$$$$$. My biggest complaint when sewing is all the pcs of thread accumulating around the SM (it's my AC/DC . . oops, I mean my ADD I guess). Anyway, my idea is a wristlet with peel off masking tape strips, only with 'sticky side out' (working on that??), then all you have to do is grab them little buggers and slap 'em on your wrist 'n when it gets full, peel one off and go to the next!!! Seriously, I grab a strip of masking tape and wrap it backward and plop it on the table nx to my SM to keep them threads stuck in place!!! If anybody uses my "thread catcher" prototype I get royalties on any proceeds!?!?!? Oops, off message AGAIN. Anxious to try the Wonder Clips! "B"
