How do you keep your bobbins from getting tangled and messy
|
Well I don't know about the messy part - but I put mine in a box that checks came in and one of those plastic craft boxes with the dividers in it with the lid that snaps down. I have used that clear vinyl and wrapped in around thread to keep it from unwinding I wonder it that would work the same on a bobbin? Might have to give it a try.

I use the small kind of terry like pony tail holders. I put one around the bobbin and then put the bobbin into a box for storage. You can get the pony tail holders at Wal-Mart. You want the tiny small baby size, they are perfect for any size bobbin. I use them on my large longarm bobbins too.

I have a ring that goes around my pin holder that has a groove that they sit in that is great, as well as I also have a hanging board that has little pegs on it as well, this is great as it keeps them up and less likely to be knocked around

I use the small pony tail holders and they work great :thumbup:

The problem I have using the pony tail bands is I can't see the color of the thread on the bobbin. So I make sure I put the same color band as the same color thread. That'a big help. I like the round bobbin holders too. Have you seen this?
http://www.superiorthreads.com/shop/...onut/products/ I ordered one from Connecting Threads (cheaper) and it's super for applique, handpiecing, or mending, all the colors needed in one place. |
I have a couple boxes from the fishing tackle department that are flat, snap shut and have lots of moveable dividers inside.
I put all spools and bobbins of the same thread together in a section, so I don't try to match up threaded bobbins with spools they don't belong to. |

I bought a round bobbin holder at my lqs. I also put them on a tread holder that I have.
