Hi, I feel I should post a warning. Small elastic bands work very well to keep two bobbins together.
But, I'm a slow worker and my large Bucks Point piece took a year to make. During that time the rubber bands perished and stuck to the wood leaving blue or black coloured rings on the bobbin shanks.
I found safety pins through the spangles worked much better for me - obviously a useless suggestion for continentals!
Maybe if you're a fast worker or in a different climate its not a problem, but just thought I should mention it.
