Description

Running out of pre-wound bobbins in the middle of a sewing project slows everything down. Keeping spare bobbins ready with different thread colours saves time in class and makes sewing sessions more efficient, which is why fashion students often keep several on hand throughout the semester.

  • Commonly used in fashion and design sewing classes
  • Holds thread ready for machine sewing
  • Suitable for storing different thread colours between projects
  • Compact size fits easily in sewing kits and storage boxes
  • Durable alloy construction handles regular studio use
