Product Information

Full details

The Milward Thread Bobbins are an essential organization tool for sewing enthusiasts, embroidery artists, and crafters looking to manage their collection of threads, twine, and ribbons. Designed to keep supplies tangle-free and easily accessible, these sturdy plastic bobbins hold standard embroidery skeins securely. While they are highly effective for long-term storage and organization, users should note that they require manual winding, which can be time-consuming for very large stashes of thread.

FAQs

How many bobbins are in a pack?

This product comes in a pack of 30 bobbins.

Can these fit in standard floss storage boxes?

Yes, they are designed with a universal size to fit most standard floss holder boxes.

What should I use to label the bobbins?

A standard permanent marker works best on the plastic surface.

Are these bobbins reusable?

Yes, they are highly durable and can be unwound and reused for different threads as needed.

Can they hold yarn?

They are primarily designed for embroidery floss, twine, and ribbons; they may not be suitable for thick or bulky yarns.

Troubleshooting

Thread slips off the bobbin

Ensure the end of the thread is tucked firmly into the side notch to create tension.

Labels are fading or smudging

Use a high-quality permanent marker and allow at least 60 seconds for the ink to fully cure before handling.

Pros and Cons

  • Manual winding can be time-consuming

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using your Milward Thread Bobbins, simply feed the end of your thread into the notch on the bobbin to secure it, then wind the remainder evenly around the body. Once wound, secure the loose end in the second notch to prevent unraveling. These bobbins are compatible with virtually all standard plastic embroidery floss organizers. To care for them, keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the plastic from becoming brittle. If you choose to write on them, ensure your permanent marker is fully dry before placing the bobbins against each other in your storage box to avoid ink transfer.
