I keep my thread on pegs, so I can just put the bobbin on first then the thread spool. If the peg is a little too short, the spool will still stay on!
I often wind a lot of bobbins in one color. In that case, I put one on the peg and the rest in my bobbin holder so I can match them with the one on the peg. While I am using the many wound bobbins, I have a peg on my cone thread holder that I stack them on. That way they are right there when I need a new one.
PS: My bobbin holder is a 2-sided pencil case from the dollar store. It has sections along the side and a long area on the other side of each part. I keep empty bobbins in the long area and full ones in the smaller sections.
