bobbin buddies

I followed a suggestion made by another CUTE member and bought a set of two of the stack n store bobbin holders from Shoppers Rule - I am not sure which will work the best - as all tools end up working for those that have them - I have been using those round bobbin holders for years and doing rather well with them:

I bought clear rubber tubing from my local hardware store and cut it in 1/4" rings. Then I snipped it so it does basically the same thing as the "Bobbin Buddy". I bet the tubing was a lot cheaper. Since I have probably at least 100 colored bobbins wound I need to save where I can.

Yep, they are great ;0 However; I keep mines in a plastic storage drawer and it has worked GREAT all these years ;D *2U

Because I usually use white bobbin thread, the bobbins are usually empty, until I stop what I'm doing and fill them up. Happiness is 12 full bobbins.

I never realised these existed or I would have bought them, now I'm thinking Maryjo's idea mught work for me, but I'll keep this in mind too.
Hugs n roses, and thanks for sharing, Meganne

Err, i have solved the problem of those loose tails on the bobins with ease. i simply fasten the threads down with a lick. DNA is a marvelouse thing and we do use it so much, eyebrows need shapeing a bit of spit will hold them in place, need to hold that strand of hair in a spick yep that bit of spit did it when i was a teen and its free and allways available. i use a clear spectacle case to hold my bobbins. all the white in one all my black in another and then the one with the small amounts of colored. A local optician puts out a bin of these cases for free and i find lots of uses for them

Nice I have a couple of Bobbin Savers I picked up at Jo Anns the last time I was n Mi. they work well for me. *4U

You all could try the baby pony tail holders from the dollar store. They work great.
