Hello All,
I have found this thread fascinating! To add my four pennorth, I went
into the local Pharmacy this week, and found a huge packet of those brightly
coloured - not to say gaudy in the extreme - rubber bands for pigtails and
ponytails, which aren't actually rubber, more plasticy, and I can't remember
what the name is! However, they ranged in size from very tiny - like the
orthodontic ones - to quite large, so I spent a good few minutes sorting
them out, and gave the larger ones to my grand-daughter to hold her plaits,
and kept the tiny ones to hold bobbins together when the threads run out.
There were also enough to let all members of my classes have several too, so
at £1.00 sterling per packet (probably about 60 cents American) they were a
good buy.

How about the tiny "rubber" bands that orthodontists use on braces?
They're great for bundling two bobbins together. When a bobbin is running
out of thread, I like to run a new thread alongside the old for a ways,
and bundling the bobbins together makes that a lot easier to do.
