    These are the best ones I've ever used:
    http://www.clotilde.com/detail.html?prod_id=280

    They fit class 66 and all four or five kinds of class 15 bobbins that I've got. The bobbins are held securely and no more thread nests in the top drawers of my cabinets.

    I had been using baby hair elastics and those are okay - these are just neater. :)

    I've started using these, too. They are cheap, and so far I really like them! They hold the bobbin very tightly. :thumbup:

    I've used these boxes for years. The bobbins sit in a foam. No unwound bobbins, no rolling bobbins. I have 5 machines & different boxes for each machine. I labled each box/machine according to threads. I.e, embroidery, quilt, sewing, top stitch, etc.

    I have one similar to that and I really like it. The bobbins don't fall out.

    I was unimpressed - don't like it - and it keeps tipping over! Grrrr! Go with the Bobbin Saver!
