Does anyone know where I can purchase Thread bobs?

They are little plastic pieces that fit in the hole of the spool of thread so you can snap in the bobbin of the same color,

I purchased them years ago and find them very helpful when you are doing a project that requires a lot of different color variation of a thread color

Haven't seen the "bobs" but if you have a thread rack, you can cut a straw to the desired length and put that over the spindle to hold both. :)

I googled "thread bobs sewing." If you try, you may find additional sources.

Have never seen those before . Never thought of the straw before, going to do that with my rack... I like keeping the bobbins with the spool :wink: Some shades are so close in color

They sell them at Threads n More, they call them Bobbin Match Mates, 12 for $1.99 under Tools and Notions. http://www.threadandmore.com/scripts...?idCategory=86

I love them!

You can also store your bobbins on a regular thread rack by placing the bobbin on first.
