They are awesome. I have been using them for years. Wouldn't use anything else. Cheap too.

My sister gave me a package of 10 or 20 and they were called Bobbin bekinis I think.

Plastic tubing sounds like a good idea also. Where do you get the tubing?

They are so easy to slip on and off.No cutting or measuring.I did try the tubing,but I prefer the hair ties.I like the ready to use method.

I got the tubing at the local Ace hardware store. home depot etc should sell it to. Mary

maybe you could get it pre-packaged in fish department. for the pumps used for tank filter. probably cost more. Mary

I like the tubing better. It makes it easier to see the color through it. Also , you can still store them in your machine accessory tray when you are taking machine to classes. With the pony tail bands they don't fit in tray, at least mine doesn't. I guess that is why there is so many different tips, huh??

I am so excited to read this. I keep my bobbins in the plastic case they come in BUT the ends of the threads are always hanging loose. I store them in a storage shelf of my machine cabinet and every once in a while, I have a long bobbin thread hanging loose that gets wrapped around my foot and before I know it, i've drug 10 yards of thread throughout my house. This is the perfect remedy. Thanks.

they also work great for embroidery thread or regular sewing thread

What a great idea. My bobbin case is always in a mess.
