Hi Wes; I use Cascade Crest tools ceramic midge bobbin for both Pearsalls spools and sewing machine bobbins.

To: "VFB Mail" <vfb-mail@googlegroups.com> Date: Wednesday, February 23, 2011, 1:13 PM Hi VFB! A question: I am in the market for a fly tying bobbin holder that is meant to handle those small stainless steel spools made for sewing machines. In looking over the various manufacturers' catalogs, I see a confusing array of bobbin holders: some labeled "small" or "midge" but none saying specifically that a sewing machine spool can be held by these without some wire bending, Rube Goldberg inventiveness. Budget is also a consideration. Ceramic tips would also be nice. What do you recommend as a value-priced bobbin holder meant for the small sewing machine spools? Any other alternatives or suggestions other than going that route? Thanks, Wes Wada Bend, Oregon -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.
