Hi All, I would agree with most of the suggestions, apart from the fact that I don't think I would recommend that my students put the tongue depressors - or anything else! - across the threads. This may well work for fairly sturdy threads, but it still runs the risk of rubbing them, and eventually they may well break. And as we all know, when threads break, it is *always* at the most inconvenient times and places. I use a piece of half-inch wide elastic, held down over the bobbins, with berry pins (the large pins with coloured heads) holding the elastic taut, with the bobbins unable to jiggle about.
