Great Idea - thanks. I also have recently purchased an embroidery machine and find myself with lots of spools of thread to store. Glad to get this tip before I went in the wrong direction regarding storing them.

One thing I still have left to do is to replace all the hair ties with clear plastic tubing to hold the thread on the bobbin.
