I'm working on organizing and redoing my sewing room. I have a chest of drawers and I put my thread in one of the drawers. I have my bobbin boxes for both machines but each box is labeled for specific machine. My threads are also labeled, cotton, cotton/poly, and poly. Now my cousin has her la thread spools on a built in shelf. She made a curtain out of a heavy blackout fabric on a swing rod. Keeps the sun out. My neighbor has old sewing boxes labeled with the different thread.
