Thanks for string it will clean up one of my messes!
|
Sounds like a great idea. I also save nasal spray holders. The blue band which does around a prescription nasal spray. They are just like the pink holders and work great.
|
That is a great idea. Thanks for passing on the tip.

I really like this tip. Can't wait to try it. I hate to think of the money I have thrown away over the years because I am too lazy to untangle the messy threads in my bobbin drawer. I just cut them and throw them in the trash.
I have been using small bits of scotch tape to hold the ends of thread on my embroidery spools which hang on a wall. They were always dangling down and looking messy and getting caught in things. If anyone has another idea for the dangling threads, let's hear it. Thanks It is so wonderful and helpful to find so many good tips on this board. Love you guys and gals. You're the best. |
Hi Nana2Sew,
I love your Avatar. What is that pattern and do you know a site where I can get it for free? Am on SS and don't have extras for patterns. Thanks, Kitsy |

Hi, I saw that episode on F&P and immediately put that idea to work too. I love it! I extended the idea a bit for my purposes. I mostly use cotton thread but occassionally use poly. I write "poly" on the white reinforcement label when I stick it on the bobbin if the thread wound is polyester (I do not write anything if the thread is cotton). Now, when I pick up a bobbin, I know if I want to use that on my project or not (I don't use poly on my quilting projects.) It saves me a lot of angst!

Do they leave sticky residue on your bobbin when you remove them?
|
Great idea no matter whose idea it is. Thanks for passing it along.

You can also goto the hardware store and buy 1/2" clear plastic tubing in the plumbing section. It is about $.30 a foot. Cut a slit down the center, and then subcut it into about 1/4" increments and place it on your bobbins. Not only will it prevent it from unraveling, but you can see the thread color.
