Then the bobbins are put in one of several clear\u00c2\u00a0 plastic divided bins.<\/p>\n<p>When I pull a bobbin from the box, I remove the ring and stick it on the side of my machine. They usually are reusable 3-5 times before they loose their adhesiveness.\u00c2\u00a0 They rarely leave any sticky residue on the bobbin.\u00c2\u00a0 Any that remains is easily removed.<\/p>\n<p>These little rings have kept my bobbins in order for many years.\u00c2\u00a0 A very long time ago, I was teaching for Mildred Turner at one of her Sewing in the Mountains schools.\u00c2\u00a0 Another teacher got a worrisome call from her husband at about 9:30 p.m.\u00c2\u00a0 Their daughter had just remembered a useful &#8220;invention&#8221; was due the next day for science class.\u00c2\u00a0 As Jimmy Buffet once said, there was &#8220;panic in the green room.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I suggested the ring reinforcers for the bobbins and slam bam! She had an invention.\u00c2\u00a0 And got an A.\u00c2\u00a0 Maybe I should feel guilty, but desperate times call for desperate measures.<\/p>\n<p>Give these little rings a try.\u00c2\u00a0 You will have no more thread tails hanging out of your bobbin box and a more tidy sewing room.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do those thread tails hanging off your bobbins annoy you?
