seemed like a good idea but found it tangling to itself BEFORE I even got it to the spool of thread. Because it tends to twist and stick to itself, I did NOT find it reusable. So far my best use of it is to secure the bindng bundle till i can get it sewn on. Could also secure a bundle of charms or FQ or any number of other things. But I won't even try it on spools of thread, much less bobbins.
