I'm glad that you like it

I actually forgot to mention some tips:
- Don't wrap too close to the hole. If you leave a space of about 2-3 mm it will be easier to pick up the uppermost loop.
- Don't wrap too close to the bottom of the plate. Otherwise there might slip a coiled thread out.
- Always leave enough string before the bobbin. Otherwise you won't be able to pull the uppermost loop over the bottom of the plate.
For storing loose thread I recommend the first type. It's faster to unwind a piece of thread as with the plates. There it also doesn't matter if a thread gets loose. They also have a bigger cappacity than the plates.
