You now know exactly what type of thread is on the bobbin and a storage place for it. You can also go to the $ store and get the pony tail holders for little kids (the fat ones with alot of material round them) and put them on your bobbins to keep them from unraveling.
I bought dollar store kid's pony tail holders in a mixed bag - I now place one in as close a coordinating color to the bobbin thread over it - no ravelling, no dust & I can see approx. color at a glance
