There was a post on here quite a while back that the person took the storeage containers and clued golf tees in the bottom for the thread to sit on. I thought that was great and plan on doing it at sometime. I have a large plastic storeage on wheels w/drawers. It works great because the first 4 drawers are just the right size to hold RA, Sulky, Presencia, Floriani and Jenny Haskins thread. Then the next drawer is deep enough to hold the larger cones of thread. I like it being on wheels because if I get really into doing a lot I'll move my machine into the main entry way and the thread can just come with me. I have a wooden spool rack (from JoAnns) that I sit up by the machine to put thread on for the project that I'm working on. I take a long quilters straight pin and put the bobbin that matches the thread on top of the spool of thread. Hope this helps.
