    I found two websites that sell the "curly comb spines". You can get it in clear plastic. Check it out. Hope this helps.

    If you didn't pay a fortune for your thimble, take a hammer and whack it so it becomes a slightly oval shape at the bottom. It will fit your finger perfect and not fall off.

    These are really cool ideas. I definitely think I'll be doing something along these lines.

    Needing help getting the bobbin thread to come up from the bottom of this machine got any ideas? It's a side loading bobbin on a vintage machine. I've googled but can't find the right help.
