To organize bobbins etc, sand the corners on a 2x4 scrap and drill some holes in it - use manicure sticks cut to size for the spool holders
Why aren’t you using a hobby knife to cut thread? Unless you hold your scissors in one hand the whole session, you have to pick them up, put your finger and thumb into action and manipulate two blades into a small area - a hobby knife is an easy motion requiring one touch (with GSP, nylon, or silk) with an inexpensive, replaceable blade - put a piece of scrap foam on the handle to prevent rolling and facilitate easier pickup
A magnetic mechanics catch pan holds more than just hooks - $3.99 ish at Harbor Freight
A quick dip in isopropyl alcohol will reactivate a dried out sharpie
If you make poppers, NEVER let your wife/GF throw away manicure stuff - especially Sally Hansen products!
Go to the craft store! Stoppers = poppers!
That’s all for today - JG
