Good evening, everyone!
I've done a search through this group and I'm not able to find anything on my topic question, so I'll create a post.
How do you organised your threads? I bought these plastic floss cards from Spotlight, and at first I thought they were a good idea because they'll last longer than cardboard ones, but I'm having troubles with the threads coming undone.
4-6 strands on one seems to hold well, but when there's only two, they start to unravel.
Any tips on how to manage this? Or should I start over with something else? I'm contemplating tiny pieces of painters tape to keep them together. I don't even know if I'm wrapping them correctly.
Also tried trusty Google, but I don't think I've used the right key words. A lot of results are not giving me what I need.
Thanks in advance. 🤗
I use these bobbins too, and while they do come undone a little, I don’t really worry that much. I just tuck the loose thread under the wound part… I am eyeing how you’re using the two notches and might switch up. That looks much better and more secure.
I do store all my bobbins in a fishing tackle box tray, they fit really good and the trays have dividers so I can keep them in order.
I tried a few different ways, but I definitely found that this worked the best. I might give it a go and tuck the end under the wound bit, too.
The tackle box is a brilliant idea. I just don't have enough thread right now to justify one, and the craft shop ones specifically for thread organising are so expensive. 😢 Originally thought of getting a big metal ring to hold them together, but with this thread issue, it'd be a nightmare.
