I do something similar when I am leaving my pillow (I have cats who think that playing with bobbins is GREAT FUN!!!) I got U pins. They are commonly used for hanging jewelery chains on flat display boards. They are shaped in a U with both open ends being sharp. I just place them over the thread against the head of each pair of bobbins and even if my pillow gets knocked over in a kitten race the bobbins stay nice and secure. I got a handful from a lady at a craft fair and fell in love with them. I have seen them at lots of bead shows and I have been told you can get them from display showrooms but I have not tried there yet.

Hi, If you don't mind I'd like to add one other suggestion to yours, Alice. Besides all the great suggestions on securing the bobbins, which I have used most of the ideas, all great. I also, sometimes do one added thing to secure the threads down good. I have used a tongue depressor or a nice piece of wood with small holes drilled in each end, that I lay across my threads up next to the pins, and pin down on the pillow. Just as an added precaution. I also do this when I'm just going to leave my pillow for a few minutes and don't want to bundle up my bobbins. Just a precaution in case the pillow gets bump. Patsy A. Goodman Chula Vista, CA, USA
