Noelene,
When I was doing the Chantilly class (hello Ilske) where you have to carry
ground bobbins with the gimp so often, there were all sorts of ideas flying
around the classroom about the best way to bundle them together - I stuck to
my shoelaces, which kept the threads in order as well, and w
David, I usually thread the shoelace through the spangles of about 6 to 10
pair max., then tie in a bow, bundling the bobbins into a bunch. The
bundles get stacked at the side. If there are a lot of bobbins - say more
than 50 pair in use - I have some small squares of fabric which I place
betwee
I like Noelene's idea.
I have used shoe laces, lengths of ribbon, garden twine (not as nice) and
thick weaving cotton (8/4's are good) to mind the bobbins. I don't use the
method exclusively, it depends on how much of a hurry I'm in and the state
of the pillow, and what sort of cord-like device is
Dear Noelene,
So far no-one seems to have mentioned my favourite bobbin holder for my
spangled bobbins - shoe laces.
Haven't ever heard of them being suggested before. I always use those
giant safety pin shapes - make 2 from any cheap plastic-coated
coat-hanger. They hold about 20 pairs each
