Wow--thanks for the tip, that is such a good idea. I just might do the same for spools of thread I don't use either. I have only been quilting for 2 years, but have learned so much from this board. THANKS!!!!!!

What a great idea? I never thought of that. I'll try it on the next scrappy project I work on.

I do this as well. I just refuse to buy any more bobbins and I hate to waste thread!

Super idea - thank you. I am just starting a scrap strip quilt top so now I will drag out those old thread spools with just a little left on them....and the bobbins too.
