Here's a tip for keeping bobbin threads neat. I found at a dollar store some tiny stretchy pony tail holders. Must be about 100 in the little plastic purse. They are just about the size of a bobbin. I wrap one around my bobbins to keep the threads neat, matching up the thread color on the bobbin with the color of pony tail holder. Easy to find the right bobbin color and the thread is all neatly tucked under.
