Hello All! If this is a re-run, please accept my apologies! I don't recall seeing any previous discussion about using a bobbin holder to transport pre-wound bobbins so I will share. There is a photo posted to Flickr. I have several types of bobbin holders & the one in question is a "tuning fork" style--a rigid piece of wood with two prongs. While getting ready for Louise Colgan's class, I was winding bobbins & wondering how to transport them to prevent tangled threads. My only bobbin case is jammed with Midlands style & I'm using Dutch ones for this class. It's too much aggravation to take all that apart & reload the case. What to do? I ended up putting the bobbins in the bobbin holder & closing the end with a large safety pin--voila! There are 10 pairs in the holder & I think there is space for maybe 2 more. Since I need more bobbin holders anyway, I will look for more of this type because it has more than one use! I just slipped the whole thing into a plastic b! ag. Neat & clean. Hope this helps someone else traveling with Continental bobbins. Sincerely, Susan Hottle USA
