I run out of thread AGAIN, and thats the moment where I have to wrap my string on bobbins again. So this time I have an 100pcs pack of thread from Amazon (Note: I think it's now 93 or so because I took some string out of the packaging). When I wrap string, then I get bored after 20-30 wrapped bobbins, even though I hear my fav music YOASOBI, ZUTOMAYO or random artists. Can someone give me some advice on how to get more motivation on it? I'm very happy for an answer. 🙂

I used to have the exact same issue, winding them all seems to take forever! Now I usually just leave the strings in their original packaging and organise into bags/containers for each colour, I'll only wind string onto a bobbin once I've started using it. If you do want them all on bobbins you could maybe watch a movie or show whilst you're doing it?

Sorry, kleine--got copious amounts of nothing on this one.

Motivation is a quality: we've either got it, or we don't. Any pithy words any of us might share in order to fire you up about the pursuit are going to be fleeing, at best.

But unless we're getting paid for our efforts, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Remember, all of this crafty business of ours is supposed to be FUN. And the day this becomes a chore, I for one will be out like a body-positive dodgeballer.

(TL/DR: Unless there's a customer waiting on the order, give some thought to just putting it away until the spirit moves us again. 👍)

um, just don't do dupes? idk lol, maybe just do different colors, and fill in the old bobbins, once empty, with dupes

@Night_Owl @GiuseppeK @Selah_Ross thanks!!! I hear music rn and wrap my bobbins!!! I think I already done 30-40, this took me a lot! Now I finish the first half of this pack - I try the idea from @Night_Owl out at my 2nd half! I think I should watch music videos 😁
