Little plastic containers divide my threads and bobbins I have marked "hand quilting thread" and "machine quilting thread" and I keep those bobbins with the matchine threads. Other drawers hold rotary blades, scizzors, adhesive spray, starch, bla bla bla you get the idea. I would rather spend my money on fabric and batting instead of junk I don't need.
Limiting my quilting to simple basics is not the way I like to quilt.

One good use for the donut bobbin keepers is to wind bobbins with as many different colors as you have and fill up the donut. You will always have the right color for all your handsewing projects in one place. :-D
