If you could take this idea and package it for quilting, you could make a mint. :lol:[/quote]

I wish I could but I didn't come up with it. And it really is so cheap and easy to get. I like the idea that it can be stored anyway you want.

Hmmmmm. The tubing works wonderfully for me, I think I just lucked out on the right size.

Great idea. Thanks for sharing. :thumbup:

It was such a pain for me to cut it and try to get it even so it would fit around the bobbins right . I got the 1/2 inch.I had to keep trimming so it would fit inbetween the top and bottom of the bobbim. but then again I have trouble seeing out of one eye so that threw things off too. Then the bobbins were still loose.
I wanted something that kept them all in one place and was cheap and easy. This fit the bill for me.

It's been posted on the board before and has been in several quilt magazines in the reader's tip section. It works great. I take the colored plastic bindings off old cookbooks and booklets I found at thrift stores for pennies each. It's hard to find the assorted pretty color plastic spirals. I cut some into sections to hold four or five bobbins to take to classes/workshops. I stapled some to a thin wood board and made a rack for my bobbins to hang on the wall. Easy to pick one bobbin out and put back.

I figured someone had put it up before. I have some wood in the garage I may do that or just find a shoebox to keep them in.

What a great idea!

Great tips. Thanks

Great tip!! Thanks for sharing :D:D:D

I've been covering mine with the little fuzzy knitted pony tail holders. They are really tiny and just fit on the bobbin. I cover the bobbin with the same color as the thread. I've been storing them in a plastic container but still have to look thru them all to see if you have the right color. Sounds like I might have to find these binders. Maybe Staples would have them?
