    Cool DIY bobbin clips

    Nice blog. This is a tutorial on do-it-yourself bobbin clips. Sure makes the bobbin box look much neater.

    WHat a great idea! I went to dollar store and bought a bag of Childs hair ties. They are in different colors. I used those on bobbins and small spools of thread. So far my bobbin threads the same color.

    What a NEAT idea. My bobbins are always a mess. Going to try this.

    Great idea. I also saw someone put hole paper reinforcers on the top of their bobbin to put the string underneath. I have them on several of my bobbins and so far it works good.

    For years, I have used the little rings that come with inhalation bottles. It looks like the ones that Clover has. And they are free. My bobbins have been neat for years just using something that otherwise would have been thrown away.

    OH WOW!!! This is so cool. Thank you for posting. I am a "cant stand thread loose" person and this is right up there with the best things I could ever do for me.
    I never met a quilt I didnt love.

    OOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! Thanks for the idea. I wear a C-PAP to breath with at night this will be perfect! I have been wondering what I could use to keep those bobbins from being so messy.
