I keep a roll of painter's tape right by the machine ... fixes PP sections that fall off from the stitching, labels fabrics with length or any other details ......... and tapes onto loose thread on spools!

Someone sent in a tips from Fons and Porters the other day. The adhesive re-inforcing circles used on sheets of paper that have been prepared for a binder works great. They used to be loose and you had to dampen them to get them to stick. Now they come on a waxed paper sheet and they peel off. Pull a small amount of thread to the top of a spool and/or a bobbin (works equally well for both), apply the donut-shaped piece and voila! Mess gone~

A word of caution when you start using adhesives ... you could gum up your threads and create problems. Just a thought!

mesh tubes
I have asked the floriest to save the mesh tubes that come on some of his larger flowers like lillies,mums and others. He was glad to be able to recycle them and I just wash them in soap and water ,rinse and rubs between 2 towels and let dry. You can cut them for any size spools you have.
