Pictures showing how to keep thread from unwinding.

  1. Make notches with a knife on a bobbin and fix the end of the wound thread in these notches.
  2. Some spools have a ring. You can pop this ring up, wrap the thread around the visible part of the bobbin and then pop back down the ring to keep the thread from unwinding. Not all spools have this ring. Then make such ring yourself.

How to make the ring that will keep thread from unwinding:

  • Cut a square of baking paper with sides larger than the spool.

  • Draw the outline of the bobbin in the center of the square. You will have a circle in the center.

  • Cut out the circle.

  • Cut a strip of baking paper about 1 cm wide and long enough to wrap around the bobbin.

  • Slide the square of paper onto the spool.

  • Wrap the strip around the visible part of the bobbin, fixing the end of the strip with a piece of double-sided tape. The top of the thread and the visible part of the bobbin will be covered with baking paper.

  • Squeeze hot glue around the bobbin covered with paper to form the ring.

  • Wait for the hot glue to harden good.

  • Separate the ring from the paper. The ring that will keep thread from unwinding is ready. Wrap the thread around the visible part of the bobbin and snap the ring up.

It occured to me that the little finger of a clear latex glove was about the size of the bobbins.

Three bobbins with string on them.

To keep extra bobbin threads from unraveling, place a fat fuzzy ponytail holder around the bobbin.
