Thanks for the reinforcement/bobbin tip!
Someone on this board (sorry I can't remember the name) posted a tip about putting reinforcements on top of her bobbins to stop the thread from unraveling. Well, I used that wonderful tip and took it one step further. I have multiple machines that use clear bobbins but they are not the same size. Try as I might, I am never successful in keeping them separated. Now I just write which machine the bobbin is for on the reinforcement and also which type of thread is on the bobbin (Aurifil, Isacord, etc)!

That is something I will have to try. Right now, I write directly on the bobbin with a sharpie. E for embroidery, C for cotton, P for polyester, etc. along with the thread # if there is one. I have the caddy that I use for bobbins only. I write the manufacture and type of thread on the bobbin on the outside of each storage area. Keeps them all organized. I use narrow tape to attach the end of the thread to the top of each bobbin. Maybe after tax time the reinforcements will go on my shopping list.
