Double sided removable tape is good to hold the bobbin ends of thread. I had to mark my rotary cutter nut too. Until I bought the one click blade change rotary cutter, I think it' Olfa and it is super easy and fast to change the blade.

Also, Olfa has a video where it demos changing the blades on different styles

A word of caution about the self-adhesive reinforcements....I used these on my bobbins and some of them came slightly loose and caused a holy mess in the bobbin thread area of my machine. The thread got stuck under the loose edge and broke.

Give hubby the job of slicing it up the middle on one side to open it out then into bobbin sized widths. It keeps him happy, he feels like he's helping out and no more messy bobbins ever! 1/2 yard of pipe cost about a dollar and will give you hundreds. I have used these for years and if I lose one, I don't have to bother hunting for it.

Are you referring to clear plastic flexible tubing or is this a rigid tubing?

I used to dread changing the blade on my rotary cutter. Then I bought the Olfa Quick Change and I love it!! No more fiddling around with the screws and getting wobbly blades. It was worth every penny. This one on Amazon says $9. I paid more than that but it was still worth every penny.
