slbram17 - sorry, I knew I'd confuse. my old xp computer is caput and am trying to break in a new one -win7 - some of my old programs don't work, so hope this will. These little surface protectors are adhesive, so I stuck one to the underside of the bobbin cover above the bobbin. There were 25 on the card, hanging on a hook in the hardware store where they have felt gliders for under chairs and to protect furniture from heavy ornaments etc. They look like bubble wrap for packaging Have been trying to post a pic but for some reason this horrible computer doesn't seem to recognise it as a picture - another obstacle to fix. Hope you have more luck with your problem. Cheers, Gay
