[SIZE=3][COLOR=deeppink] Does anyone have an idea to help keep the bobbin threads (while being stored when not using) from coming unwound? |

I found some very small 1" square plastic bags that zip together and I put them in that. I put my thread in a little larger bag and put the bobbin bag inside that too...that way I always know what thread bobbin goes with what spool of thread. I then put a hole in the bottom of the bag and stick it on my thread board....my thread is dust free but visible. Violet

I got one of those bobbin boxes from dritz on the notions wall but they still came unwound from time to time. Then a good gal pal sent me this bobbin keeper. It looks like a dounut and you place them in the ring that is made of rubber. It works great. The cat can swat it on the ground and they do not come out or unwound.
The more you disaprove, the more fun I am having!

Amiee, I have one similiar to your donut too but mine is just a rectangle but I seldom use it because I like to keep my bobbin thread with the spool. They do work pretty good though. Violet I've decided to live forever - so far, so good.
