I think they are talking about the wide plastic spirals that are found one some of the cookbooks that are sold through fundraisers and such, at least around here. You should be able to cut apart each section, leaving a little "C" that would slip over the bobbin anchoring the end of the thread. There should be enough of an opening to see the color of the thread and it shouldn't unravel.

great tip!

I don't have pictures but maybe after taking the kid to school. lol
ETA the picture looks like you cut a piece OUT but you don't that one is just stretched out from being on a really full bobbin. |
What a great idea! Thanks for sharing.

I use the same things for bobbins,I have nylon socks that are specially made for cone thread. :thumbup:
|
What a good idea.. I will no longer have to have thead unraveling on to eachother.
|
I love your idea!

I use the pony tail things also. Picked them up at Walmart. Really cheap and works great

They work great and you can match the color to the thread color, which I haven't done alot of. I also use it for my spools of thread. And, they are a great price, about 1.50 for 24.
