I just made foldable/portable tread catchers for my quiling group for Christmas. Everyone loved them.
Found the pattern at Robin Quilts Etc. go to the tutorials. The pattern is so easy to make. If you get any
really good ones please share.

Bobbin minders:
Made from clear flexible tubing....look in plumbing at Home Depot/Lowe's/etc.
Get a diameter that will fit over a full bobbin.
With a sharp craft knife or box cutter cut tubing into 1/4" slices, or just wide enough to fit the depth of the bobbin.
Cut each slice open so you have a little "C" shape.....since it's flexible it will fit over the thread on your bobbin.
Package up 5 or 10 of them in a cute little Christmas-y bag or box and you're all set.
