I received my new F & P magazine the other day and saw a thing in the helpful hints about using pedicure toe separators for bobbin holders. Well, today I went to Dollar Tree and found some that have the tear-drop shaped hole (be careful, some are just straight) and wanted to report that they work WONDERFULLY!!!! They were two in a package that also contained a nail clipper for only $1. I may have to go back for more! Each one will hold three bobbins.

First I started the HF blade craze, now you Ms. Rapture and the toe thingys.


The world will never be the same.

Don't forget there was also the back support from dollar tree that wasn't selling until it was mentioned on here.

Gracious, HF blades are tough aren't they? I've only got 3, need to get some more. They last several times longer than brand name blades.

My brother sent me one they use in wheelchairs, we usually keep it in the truck. It has a honeycomb cushion inside.
