Hello Alice and everyone About replacements bands for The Pocket Bobbin Winder - I bought a packet of neon colour rubber bands from the dollar store, work well, the colours make them easy to find (a incidental plus LOL), seem to be a standard North American stationery size. If the band slips/bobbin doesn't rotate I put a bit of scrap paper in the trough part of the winder to provide friction under the bobbin. HTH
