Whoever left that comment about soft silicone earplugs for thread management, THANK YOU
I was a diehard UnicornMomSews (edit: RobotMomSews) thread conditioner user, and have been passively trying to find something to use after my stash runs out. I saw the comment about soft silicone earplugs being great and kind of went "huh" and forgot about it until I saw an unopened pack of them at an estate sale last week.
Y'all need to try it. It's incredible. I'm convinced.
