Have drawers and drawers full of thread and don't try to keep them together, Bobbins with like threads at least. Right bobbins with right machines I can do. I keep threads in those 5 Drawer plastic dressers and they stay dust free and out of the sun. I LOVE thread !!!

Those are small shelving units from Lowe's that I was using as a desk/printer space. My DH added a few more shelves. The spool trays are peg board with rowels cut 3" in length and hammered into every other hole. Each tray holds 30 spools. I had him add wheels on the bottom so I could roll the whole thing close to my machine when I embroider. Emily
