Does anyone know where I can purchase Thread bobs?

They are little plastic pieces that fit in the hole of the spool of thread so you can snap in the bobbin of the same color,

I purchased them years ago and find them very helpful when you are doing a project that requires a lot of different color variation of a thread color

Haven't seen the "bobs" but if you have a thread rack, you can cut a straw to the desired length and put that over the spindle to hold both. :)

Here's a link. (Hope it works.)

If not, the site is Sewing Parts Online.

Here's a different kind.

Thanks for the information... If I can't find them in a store near me, I will send for them.....

Me again.....Quiltbus.com also has them.

I googled "thread bobs sewing." If you try, you may find additional sources.

Silly me....not thinking to google thread bobs...Oh well....maybe it is too early in the morning.....LOL

Have never seen those before . Never thought of the straw before, going to do that with my rack... I like keeping the bobbins with the spool :wink: Some shades are so close in color

They sell them at Threads n More, they call them Bobbin Match Mates, 12 for $1.99 under Tools and Notions. http://www.threadandmore.com/scripts...?idCategory=86

I love them!

You can also store your bobbins on a regular thread rack by placing the bobbin on first.
