I too do not like the green Bobbin Tower---the bobbins are hard to get out, it won't stay together at all--went back to plastic boxes. This way I can separate and label quilting vs regular vs embroidery bobbins. On the other hand I love my June Tailor ruler with the every 1/2 inch slits--for the lady who was having trouble, go get stick on sandpaper dots and place them all over the bottom---they are just the right size to fit between the slits and really hold the fabric in place. I also love my new "handles" that suction cup onto my omnigrid rulers--less strain on hands, fingers and wrists.
