Do most of you just put all the different machine bobbins together in a baggie/container with the same spool of thread? Trying to get better organized here with small sewing space.
I have exactly the same problem. All I know to do and am doing is I have different bobbin boxes for my different models and mark them as such. Not a perfect solution as sometimes thread colors are too close to know for sure which is which and sometimes I use the same thread for different bobbins.
Since I use one particular spool of Aurifil for most piecing, I have a small jar with a lid that I put my thread and the different bobbins in so I can see it at a glance. I usually have at least two spools of this color so I can piece on more than one machine at a time.
Sure hope someone else has some other great ideas for this dilemma. :D
