Frequently Asked Questions
How Do You Use Bobbin Buddies?Will the bobbin buddy and spool fit inside a thread organizer plastic storage box, or thread display rack?
Unfortunately, they probably will not. Using Bobbin Buddies to mate up your bobbins and thread will make your spool up to an inch taller than normal. Which will most likely stop any box lid from closing properly. Additionally the Bobbin Buddy arms reach down into the spool. This typically doesn’t leave room for the pegs that are commonly used in thread organizer boxes.
What is the measurement from the top of the spool to the top of bobbin buddy?
It can very depending on the size of the bobbin, but generally it is about 1 1/8th inch from the top of the spool to the top of the Bobbin Buddy.
What is the minimum size spool hole required?
Bobbin Buddies are designed to easily fit spools with as small as a 1/4″ diameter hole. They may fit smaller spool holes, but their fit will be very tight.
Can you pick up the connected bobbin and thread spool by the loop without the spool falling off?
Bobbin Buddies are designed to easily fit common spools with as small as a 1/4″ diameter hole. At that size the Bobbin Buddies have plenty of tension to keep the bobbin and spool connected. Even when being lifted by the loop. In that scenario they can also be stored hanging by the loop with no issues.
