My tip was just published on Embroidery Library! Now how to spend my rewared???


Tip: My combo embroidery/sewing machine came with a pack of green plastic bobbins. I bought an extra pack (you never have enough bobbins) in multi-colors. I picked out the few green ones, and I use them only for regular sewing thread. The multi-color bobbins are reserved for embroidery threads only. This makes it easy to spot the difference, and I know I have the right thread at my fingertips!

Hope some of you can use this! Linda

Linda, CONGRATULATIONS - that is a great tip - that is what we used to do with Miss Loretta's bobbins, too.

Now the real important thing - copy the voucher number down - or copy and be prepared to paste it in the box on your check out page. You put your things in your shopping cart - just as if you were buying them - once you get everything that you want - whether it is more or less - put the voucher number in the box at the bottom of the page - where it says (If you have a gift certificate or discount code, enter it below and click the button to apply it.) Click APPLY CODE - the voucher ammount will come off the total price and you can proceed to the final check out. Now here is the tip that I have for you. If you want the best deal or bang for your bucks - purchase designs that are on sale - you will be able to get more designs for your voucher this way and will not have to pay the reminder of it on your own. So let's say you put 5 of the $1.13 sale items in your shopping cart - you will pay $0.65 or you could put in 4 of the $1.13 sale items in your shopping cart - you will not pay - you will not be able to spend the $0.48 once the voucher has been applied - but you didn't have to pay. You can use it in combination with a larger ammount order, but you pay the difference on the order - just the voucher amount will come off the total of your shopping cart and you can proceed to check and put in your Pay/Pal or Credit Card info.

Congratulations! You can never have too many bobbins! I have to look for some multi-colour ones now. :-)

Congratulations! I agree: you never have enough bobbins. And I have lots of green ones since I bought my Designer in 1999, I first saw the multi-coloured ones in Nove 2010. So I have my bobbins sorted in different coloured bobbin rings: blue for regular sewing, red for embroidery. That works well for me.

Mops, I have 2 of those rings, and I do try to keep emb. thread in one (with the colored bobbins) and sewing thread in the other (with my green bobbins) but I do seem to find bobbins everywhere! THen I just have to glance, pop them into the appropriate rings and go on to pick up pins...always pins on the floor! Linda
