Hi Jane, I had one of these in the ‘free’ pack that came with my new Sewing machine. I hadn’t a clue what it was for (it didn’t have a label) but it looked as if it would take the bobbins. It is a brilliant piece of kit for all the reasons you have said. I would recommend the Bobbin Holder to any Sewist(!)

BOM=Block of the Month
There are a lots of different ways of doing a BOM. In its most basic form, a blogger will release a different blog each month with a tutorial, you source the materials and put them together.…

This is a great post Jane, thank you so much for highlighting all the behind-the-scenes work that goes into planning and releasing a BOM. My Sewmotion Curve Motion Medallion is a wonderful 16-month EPP journey for lovers of hand sewing, it took many many hours to put it all together but it was worth it!

I can imagine, I did have a look at that too 🙂
