Members BDAZ Posted June 3, 2024 Members Report Posted June 3, 2024 Nor sure if anyone else will find these useful, but the drawer where I tossed my bobbins when changing thread, after filling, etc was a bird's nest of unravelling thread, broken rubber bands and unsticking painters tape. . I am sure there are other solutions, but these are prototypes that have made a huge difference in the sewing machine drawer. Not a nest to be fond now. I may add a textured flat panel to write thread info, and use white resin which will accept pencil marking. The spools are a snug but comfortable fit. Comments? Bob Quote
Members DieselTech Posted June 4, 2024 Members Report Posted June 4, 2024 Nice work! I like them. I always tie my end off around the bobbin. But that gets to be a PITA everytime switching bobbins. Great work. Them look handy. Quote
Members BDAZ Posted June 4, 2024 Author Members Report Posted June 4, 2024 I'm just doing some final tweaking so I have some extras. If you'd like to play with a couple and want to pay for postage (+-$5) let me know. Bob Quote
Members Dwight Posted June 4, 2024 Members Report Posted June 4, 2024 I cut off the fingers from latex gloves . . . put the bobbin in there . . . write with a felt tip marker what size it is or whatever Been doing that for 20+ years . . . But may look into this. Looks neat May God bless, Dwight Quote If you can breathe, . . . thank God. If you can read, . . . thank a teacher.

I just use a wide rubber band. Quote

I just use a wide rubber band. I use those on the bobbins. The thread in the pictures are small spools. I couldn't use them on a smaller bobbin but for my Cowboy 4500, it works great. JM2C, Jim Quote

Hasn't dropped a stitch in 10 years. Mine must be an early one, as it doesn't even have a Cow Boy sticker! Somehow, it seems to work perfectly, even without one... I'll fire off a few of the final holders for you to have a look at. I am assuming they fit current spools..mine are all 10 years old as well. Bob Edited June 4, 2024 by BDAZ Quote
