Oh, I just love this new subject. As for as the wandering bobbin is concerned, when I wind one, I wind a second one and leave it on the winder. If I loose the one I'm putting in the machine, I go to the second one and if I don't loose it, leave the wandering bobbin until the second one is empty. Saves some on the nerves, the back and the frustration of moving furniture while looking for the little culprit. I've even lost needles and with these steel ones a magnet won't pick them up, but sombody's butt will. LOL
