    The spiral idea is new to me. Looks like a good idea

    I use the paper reinforcement holes that are sticky. They work great!

    I posted this previously. You can attach the loose bobbin thread in the same slot that you attach the thread on the spool.

    I bought 2 bags of them but have not used them yet but I will start tomorrow if I get the time to put the pony tail thingies on the bobbins at least.

Does that make me "cheap". No one has to actually answer that question, lol.
    No that does not make you cheap! That just makes you very inventive and smart! We can always use a way to save.

    How cool I just worked for hours (it seemed) straightening up a bag of thread that won't fit on the spool rack it had loose ends everywhere.

    Do you use check lists when you go on a quilting retreat or sew days with your quilting friends so you don't forget anything?
