People have often asked me where I got my bobbin holders from - 1 inch wide elastic with a button sewn on each end which securely ties down with a berry pin in each of the holes at both ends I will let you all into the secret they came from packets of incontinence pads that I got for my mother when she was very elderly and sick they really are just the thing but please don’t tell anyone where I got them.

This may well work for fairly sturdy threads, but it still runs the risk of rubbing them, and eventually they may well break. And as we all know, when threads break, it is *always* at the most inconvenient times and places. I use a piece of half-inch wide elastic, held down over the bobbins, with berry pins (the large pins with coloured heads) holding the elastic taut, with the bobbins unable to jiggle about.
