Need some help

I put my spools and the corresponding bobbin in a 2" x 3" zip bag. They don't get tangled and I don't have to look for a bobbin that goes with the thread. Then I keep the 'warm' colors in one plastic bin, the 'cool' colors in another.

I used to use the small hair things that stretch but I have found that the conatainers that hold test strips for sugar are idea. I can get 4 to 5 in ;one and just do up several colors and mark the container. I do not have to staop to rewind bobbins this way.

I use Handi Bobs from Clotilde. Here's the link...

then I store the thread / bobbin combo in these boxes..

Love that I can just pick up the box and head out to a workshop and not have to think about what color thread to bring in advance - just grab and go!

After reading these postings, I ordered the bobbin savers combo from Nancy's Notions. I have 3 now, one for embroidery bobbins, one for sewing bobbins, and one for quilting bobbins. When my new bobbin savers come, the first one will be for my Singer 221 bobbins. I love the bobbin savers and the three I have are filled so I'll be using the new ones, especially for extra sewing bobbins.
