There is a slot on the spools that you can wind the thread around. The end kind of pops open to do this.

Sounds like a great idea, thanks for sharing the tip.

Great idea.... I have some of those and will now USE them!

book binding, like the ones on cookbooks. just cut them apart and slip over the bobbin

great idea..thanks for the tip.

How clever you are!

I bought a small stand for regular spools of thread that sits up, put my bobbins on there, they don't unroll and I can see the colors. I really like it.

Thank you for this idea! With 4 grown daughters I have lots of these around!

I use the same little thingies you do. I learned that trick on this board. They work very well. 8-)

Thanks for sharing, looks like it will work great.
