oops, very sorry everyone about the non-reply with quoted text... I hit send by accident and was too late to cancel (waaah).
Anyway: A lace friend had a similar problem. She solved it by sewing little tubes for the bobbins from stretch knit fabric. These open-ended socks fit snugly over the bobbin necks, permitting the thread to come out the top. You might get the same result with the very tiny coloured hair bands such as found at the dollar store. Worth a try?
