I found a new use for my bobbin holder ring. It holds the M & M's right in place.

Great idea!!!

Perfect!!!

Only one problem I can see... It isn't big enough. You will have to stop way to often to refill.

Totally agree with this one! On the other hand, it might be a method of portion control? (Does that pertain to M & Ms?)

The main problem I see with the peanuts is the salt and grease that would be on the place your ‘MM holder” is placed.

lawsonmugs 07-09-2019 08:37 AM

I thought that little drawer thingie on the machine was for holding m & m 's. I took all those pesky tools and extra bobbins out to hold mine. lol.

zozee 07-09-2019 10:28 AM

Dual purpose tools—gotta love ‘em. My luck , I’d grab a bobbin and pop it in my mouth!

sewnclog 07-09-2019 11:32 AM

Not That is a wonderful idea!

Jingle 07-09-2019 03:20 PM

Thanks for the laugh.

sewbizgirl 07-09-2019 04:37 PM

That many M&Ms would last me no time at all, LOL! I have a sweet little log cabin pincushion made for me by benndm in a swap in 2014 in the center of my bobbin ring. Fits perfectly and no temptation. :D

aborning 07-09-2019 05:13 PM

Perfect! I have a habit of eating peanut m&m's when I am longarm quilting.

ccthomas 07-09-2019 05:18 PM

Love this tip. I can't wait to try it.

ladyinpurple135 07-09-2019 05:26 PM

Quilters and sewists are such clever people!!! Maybe even Hershey’s Kisses!!!

SueZQ from MN 07-09-2019 05:39 PM

What a great idea! It wou ld also keep a curious kitty that likes to help from pushing them onto the floor.

Jordan 07-10-2019 07:26 AM

Love it!!! We all need chocolate to get thru the day. You are so creative!!!! LOL
