Hi Joanne. You can use old/broken bobbins for a number of things
1. If the neck is broken - Cut off and sand down to the body, make a small hole, and with some contact adhesive, insert a needle into the body, to use as either a sewing-in tool, or a pricker 2. If the body is damaged - Cut in half lengthwise, using material, some embroidery thread, make a small embroidered name tag, obtain a broach pin from your local bead shop and sandwich name tag between broach pin and bobbin. A unique name tag for lacing occasions 3. Also for bobbins where the neck has broken - Drill a whole through the length and insert a pen refil - a nice keepsake for those bobbins that have a special place in our hearts. There are lots more uses, but these 3 come most redily to mind. Regards JacquiB - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
