Good evening, everyone!

I’ve done a search through this group and I’m not able to find anything on my topic question, so I’ll create a post.

How do you organised your threads? I bought these plastic floss cards from Spotlight, and at first I thought they were a good idea because they’ll last longer than cardboard ones, but I’m having troubles with the threads coming undone.

4-6 strands on one seems to hold well, but when there’s only two, they start to unravel.

Any tips on how to manage this? Or should I start over with something else? I’m contemplating tiny pieces of painters tape to keep them together. I don’t even know if I’m wrapping them correctly.

Also tried trusty Google, but I don’t think I’ve used the right key words. A lot of results are not giving me what I need.

Thanks in advance. 🤗

    See the little hole cutout at the top of the bobbin? I usually take the same bobbin that all of my 6 strand floss of the same color is on and I then loop it through the top. And if it’s so long it would get annoying I wind it around the rest top to bottom. I’ll see if I can take a picture of it later because I’m not sure I’m doing a great time explaining.

      I feel like I can picture it, but I could be completely wrong. A photo would be most helpful if you have a minute. 😊

        Here, I hope this makes it a bit clearer. But if you have anymore questions feel free to ask.
