RE: [lace] bobbin holders and bags - Short
Thank you, Noelene, for that suggestion! I've purchased a couple of pairs of 27" long shoelaces, and tried them out. They are wonderful! It's a little scary seeing all those bobbins and threads jumbled together, and kind of amazing when you untie the bow and straighten the shoelace to see all the bobbins lined up perfectly on the pillow. The thing I like best about this method is that you can remove bobbins from either end of the shoelace, then just tie it back up and place it out of the way again. Now if I could just fine something as easy, quick and versatile for my continental bobbins!

Worked every time. Another trick is to thread a piece of shrink tubing onto the lace, shrink it, and then cut the tubing in half, creating a neat aglet on each half of the lace. -- Joy Beeson http://joybeeson.home.comcast.net/ http://roughsewing.home.comcast.net/ http://n3f.home.comcast.net/ -- Writers' Exchange http://www.timeswrsw.com/craig/cam/ (local weather) west of Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A. where - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Try twisting the end then dipping the end in nail polish Noeline. I used to do it years ago when the crimped ends came off my boys school shoe laces. Worked every time. Helen in OZ So far no-one seems to have mentioned my favourite bobbin holder for my spangled bobbins - shoe laces. They have a little bit of metal or plastic crimped to each end, making them easy to thread through the spangles. The bundles can be piled one on top of the other, bobbins can be pulled off either end, etc., etc. The only trouble these days, with the preponderance of sneakers, is finding short shoe laces. I've been forced to buy long sneaker laces, cut them in half, and tie an overhand knot on the raw end.
