[quote=Cheshirecatquilter]Don't you just hate it when you are trying to insert the bobbin in the machine and it flips out of your fingers and rolls to some inaccessible place leaving you holding about 6 yards of unwound thread? Time for chocolate...[/quo - te]
If you can think fast enough - let go of the thread. Not as much will unwind, and holding onto the thread doesn't really make the bobbin roll less.
