I also 'invested' in a package of little knitted hair elastics from the Dollar store and use them to keep my bobbins from shedding thread.

Just Googled Hanid-bob and Amazon had this set of instructions. Hope this helps.

3 Ct. Plastic bob easily inserts into spool of thread to hold a bobbin with matching thread. Instructions: 1.Push Handi-Bob into spool like a thumbtack. Loop end of thread on nearest thread trap(if spool has enlarged hole - push Handi-Bob through a scrap of paper napkin or like material for snug fit. 2. Bobbin snaps into place - tilts for removal. Handi-Bobs adjust themselves to your bobbins. Do not use thread trap for bobbin thread - simply rotate bobbin in place to wind loose end inside (for faster bobbin removal.) 3. Handi-Bob fits over all machine spindles - no need to remove from spool while sewing. 4. To remove Handi-Bob from EMPTY spool for re-use, TWIST and pull.
Thank you so very much. This just might save what is left of my sanity. I have the doughnut holders and really like them for storage, but matching the colors seemed to be a waste of time that could be put to use piecing, cutting, etc. Also have the plastic storage cases for the bobbins that go with my other machine.

So, your research has made me a happy quilter and I thank you very much.
