I buy the cheap clear vinyl at Joann's and cut it into strips then wrap it around the cones and spools to hold the threads when the spools don't have a means to keep the thread from unraveling. I like cutting my own strips since then I can cut them to fit my spools.

I have learned with my embroidery thread and longarm cones just to secure the thread to the side of a cone to attach the end of the thread with a small piece of scotch tape. Been doing that for years and no problem.

Everyone has such wonderful ideas. I also use the scrunchy pony tail thingies on all my spools of thread. And if you can find the tiniest ones they are good for your bobbins.
However, the blue painter's tape is sounding pretty good to me and a little goes a long way.
By the way, has anyone noticed how expensive the blue painter's tape has become? A little roll was $9.
