My question is: How is the quilting world do you use the Handi-Bobs? Okay the bobbin fits nice and snug in the cup with the white tube pointing down; but how do you attach it to the spool with the matching thread? There is play in the product which to me means that you can use it on different size spools. I primarily use the big cones or the large spools from Connecting Threads. Then I have the regular spools that we are all use to from the "olden days." Then I have some old spools, cones with openings on one end about the size of a dime.
I'd appreciate any help in using these gizmos. If you ask "Did you save the packaging?" No, how smart would that have been? Usually I do keep the cardboard backing from all of my quilting gadgets, but not in this case. Thanks to all, who after a good laugh, can straighten me out.
