How do you store your threads and Bobbins
#21
hubby made me a wall cabinet for my thread..
when there is still thread left on the bobbin after a project, I put the bobbin on top of the thread for the next use.....
already for the next usage............
Works just fine.....mj

I have a thread rack but most of my thread is stored in plastic see-through boxes. I have it sorted into cotton, poly and embroidery thread. Then there are the bobbin holders with different colours for the different threads. I also put a dab of nail polish on the bobbins so I can tell if it is cotton or poly thread.
My machine needles are sorted on a tomato pin cushion, it is divided up so I know where the different needles are.

My threads are stored in a Bernina thread box that I won years ago.
I have alot of thread so also have an Ace Hardware box that another student at QBL showed me - also holds wider spools than the Bernina.
Threads that are likely to be in current use are on a thread rack that hangs on the wall behind my machine.
Cones are on a cone-tree.
My bobbins are stored in drugstore daily pill boxes and in the rubber circle bobbin holders that I bought w/coupons at Joanns.
One color for cotton, another for Bottom Line.

Mine is similar only made of wood. My thread used to get very dusty out on it's pegboard on the wall. I keep my bobbins in those little rubber donuts, in the drawer as well.

For all my bobbins, I found cigar boxes that have the forms built in for the cigar tubes....The bobbins stick nicely in the form where the cigar tubes use to be... They are all "side up" so I can see the color easily! The best thing is that they don't roll around in my drawer any more!
Let me know if you want me to send you a picture!
