    Default Bobbins ready for travel

    Thank you for posting this! I've had zero success with all the bobbin holders and such.
    Picking these up tomorrow. Looks like they won't unravel and are a manageable size too.

    That does look like it would work pretty well. We'll see how it works.

    I have been storing my bobbins like this for a while, the thread doesn't unravel and I can see the colours at a glance

    I saw this idea a little while ago so when I go to have a pedicure I ask for the sponge inserts they use on my feet since they're going to throw them away anyway.

    It's been said that necessity is the mother of invention and that's so true. Very clever idea, in fact, I might use it when I'm working on my sewing projects, especially when I need to keep changing bobbins and invariably one will jump ship and dive off the sewing table. Thanks for the tip.
