I use the paper reinforcement circles to tack the loose ends of thread on spools. bigger spools like star, cones, etc. I take it off, stick to my machine, then just grab & put back on when done with that thread.

Some really great ideas here, as usual. One of the office supply things I use is an old fashioned receipt spindle. It's great to stack the LAQ bobbins. Because they are over sized, they don't fit the average bobbin holders. It looks more classy than a board with a nail in it.

I use mini binder clips to "pin" the seam matches when paper piecing. I find that is easier than stabbing one side with a pin, then trying to get it perfect on the other side. If you put the clip with the edge exactly on the seam line, then you can flip the units open & check. If it's right, put a pin on each side of binder clip. If not, open clip and slide over. Check and slide until it's right.

Oh, that is too funny and I am a retired medical transcriptionist :) A magnetic bowel could be dangerous.
BTW, I assume you meant hope. :lol:
I must admit I tend to type and send without checking, a really bad habit!
