I have had the cheapo bobbins fall apart - use just the flat half - I can't imagine using the whole bobbin... Maybe the whole ones would make a bracelet or necklace. It would be neat to see some pictures... I don't wear earrings so I just mostly joke about it. Maybe I should make my sister a pair.

Agree on Sew-Classic, her bobbins are great.

Too big how? Diameter, thickness or both?

Joe

Diameter. They fit in the case but just will not turn.

Now what a clever idea, you may just have started a new fad- bobbin earrings!!

I have seen paper clip earrings before but never bobbin earrings. Now that is an idea. LOL

Sewe classic here I come

For the ladies, those bobbins make a cute cute cute necklace. Wind them with different colored thread and glue it down. String them with pretty beads in between and on up the necklace-Voila! Precious necklace that retails for around $25-$30 at quilt shows!!! I'm thinking you could come up with some cutie pie earrings to match too![ATTACH=CONFIG]402710[/ATTACH]
