    Great tip. I am going to dig into my office supply drawer for my reinforcement labels and finally put them to use. Thanks.

    This is a good tip. I'm going to get some of those round things and give it a try. I have the donut things made out of rubber that you put the bobbins in and they work too, but sometimes the strings tend to hang over the edge.

    Thanks for the great ideas! Perhaps I'll get my messy bobbin draw whipped into shape after all!

    What a great tip, quick and cheap and something that you probably already have in your desk. Thanks for sharing.

    I would think the colored round dots used to price rummage sale stuff would work too if they weren't too big.
    I have some of those around somewhere. Now to find them..
