My wife does a lot of sewing and embroidery.
Hey, I love that idea, but how thick is it? Different thicknesses? I guess it could be doubled- or tripled-up too, huh?

I used to use things like pennies and dimes, but sometimes it could be a real pain to dig them out, depending on what I was making - not to mention, my supply of pennies and dimes wasn't always up to the task - and they weren't always the same thickness depending on wear...
