I Do Not Need More Bobbins
 
...but I would be willing to bet as much as $1.17 that I will probably be buying more soon. For some reason I have always been fascinated with storage. All kinds. I would hate to admit how many flash drives I own.

I probably have over 40 bobbins and most are for the regular sewing, and just a few for machine applique. Is there something (aside from fabric) that calls you loudly?

Small bowls and vintage citrus reamers. ��

Sewing machine feet/attachments---I might have a machine they might fit,if i ever figured out what they would be used for--sure wish there was a catalog for all these wonderful things ! Think I have 5 buttonhole makers and I seldom ever do buttonholes !

Vintage dishes. Anything from Haviland china to Depression glass to refrigerator glass. As far as sewing goes, I have to watch myself or I'd buy tons of vintage notions. I bought I puzzle box. I have no machine that the attachments will go on, but I just loved the box.

I am lost when it some to resisting things that "might" make sewing easier. Like a needle threader, bobbin winder, and just things that seem like they'll make life easier.

Little ceramic figure planters from the 40's and 50's.... Certain glazes can't be resisted.

dish towels - I know it's weird, but I have dozens and dozens.

Vintage bobbins and accessories for me. My embroidery machines and my long arm get new bobbins but the other 60+ machines get vintage bobbins. I like to have at least one class 66, 15 and FW bobbin for each spool of cotton thread, plus 3-5 empty bobbins for each machine in case I decide to let it go to a new home. Accessory tins for each machine is something else I'm trying to have with at least a few bits in them if not all of the feet they should have.

Sparkling crystal. I feel like a Hobbit attracted to shiny things!

I probably have around 100+ bobbins, 4 ironing boards, 13 old irons that still work and 19 sewing machines, most are vintage. LOL
