I had my thread stored on a peg frame(June Tailor) and the thread got dusty and toke up counter space.
Now I have one of those thread containers that hold a ton of spools it is ARTBIN. they have a handle that I can carry to class or retreats. I just love it,They are fairly expensive,however I used my Joann coupon.
As for the bobbins I wrap a little girls ponytail holder, the mini ones, and it works perfectly. I don't know about you ,but I have a thing about thread.I love to buy it and I want all the different colors, it's like getting that box of 64 crayons. Donna
