Aside from Bobbin Lace, I am also a tatter. I run across this same dilemma and I just wind it up on empty spools or floss cards and save them. Like to be frugal ;) I use the little bits of thread to load on a shuttle or finger tat a small butterfly and then use that to paste on a card or give away at the demonstrations we do. Just an idea and my .02 cents worth.
