This is fantastic !! Thank you. I had been using those colored pigtail thingies (ha) on my bobbins, but I like this a whole lot better. Thanks again.

I have been using this method for years and it is just the best for your bobbins. I highly recommend this idea!!!

I'm definitely going to do this - Thanks for posting it! It's always a worry around here having loose thread ends because we have a cat who is drawn to them for some reason. Thread can kill a cat!

Somebody on the QB introduced this idea to us last yr. I was so excited about it I went right out & bought the tubing but found I could not cut the rings even. A neighbor guy took the tubing to cut some with a saw & they came back all shreddy & uneven, too. I wouldn't even use them.

This is such a great idea though & I may try it again.

I have several of those round donut like holders and they hold your bobbins and they never unwind for me. I have several so that my embrodiery bobbins stay separate from my quilting bobbins. I hate hard plastic containers to hold things. I always seem to drop one and then they crack.
