    There is a slot on the spools that you can wind the thread around. The end kind of pops open to do this.

    I bought a small stand for regular spools of thread that sits up, put my bobbins on there, they don't unroll and I can see the colors. I really like it.

    Do you use check lists when you go on a quilting retreat or sew days with your quilting friends so you don't forget anything?
