This is for all you sewing machine sewers. If you are like me, one of the most frustrating things to do is when you are trying to remove thread from a bobbin that you want to put another color on, it seems like no matter how tightly you hang on to it, the bobbin falls from your fingers onto the floor.

I have learned to ATTACH IT TO A MAGNET with the flat side down. You will never have it falling on the floor again!

Source: This tip comes from myself with over 55 years of sewing experience, and I just discovered it which proves you are never too old to learn!

I use an old magnet from my husbands CB radio antennae! It holds my needles and bobbins

Would this cause problems with computerized sewing machines?

I have two spool holders on top of my machine. I simply put the bobbin on one and start pulling. I haven't lost a bobbin this way yet.

Another way to do it is use a pencil through the hole. I hold one end of the pencil pointing up and unwind.
