Well, not really.
We have a nifty plastic box that’s supposed to hold bobbins, which is all well and good, except, it doesn’t really keep the tangled mess of threads from unused bobbins from knotting up into one another. It’s a tremendous pain in the ass during those moments when you just want the damn bobbin of black thread. We’re sure you can relate.
Anyway, on Sunday when Sarah was wresting with that damn bobbin full of black thread that was all tied up with both the damn bobbin of hot pink thread and the damn bobbin of red thread, she happened to glance up a noticed the roll of blue tape that’s oh-so-useful for oh-so-many things—taping patterns together after they’ve been hacked up for alterations, taping Burda World of Fashion patterns to the window for tracing without leaving a mark, et cetera. It’s great stuff, since it is meant for painting, it doesn’t leave sticky residue behind. Anyway, it was one of those head slapping moments: “Tape the threads to the bobbins so the won’t get tangled!”
No, not rocket science, but it sure helped with the irritating tangle of thread.
Anyway, a very simple solution to a simple problem.
How ’bout you? You have any “Not Rocket Science” solutions to those everyday, annoying sewing problems?
