I use the same little thingies. When I was at the International Quilt Festival last year; they were charging an arm and a leg for them When I got home I found a ton of them at the Dollar Store. So I bought a few paks of them. Downside is that you Cant't see the color of the thread. Stacking the bobbin on top of the spool of thread would be helpful and keep the bobbins/spools organized by color.
