Not trying to snag business from anyone mind you, just thinking and wondering if the ponytail holders would work. Hmmm. Wonder if the bobbins would fit in a box with the holders on them? Not the bobbin mates, the bobbin wraps.

I've got a nice stash of thread, but a lot of it is poly and/or rayon for embroidery. I don't have a lot of cotton and I ordered a couple of assortments from CT a while back. I'm enough of a newbie to think I can quilt with the same threads used in piecework. If I tried to match thread with my fabric stash, I would need some of every color they sell, which is why I'm trying to figure out what I NEED and not what I WANT. That's a hard thing for me!

I've still got tons and tons to learn and I appreciate everyone's help and advice. I enjoy learning from all of you!! :lol:
