This is a great tip. I noticed when I was shopping for them that the containers are the same brand/similar style as what they sell in the crafts aisle, and generally less expensive!

Mine are in a very small fishing tackle box that has several quite small compartments. Won this at a trade show and since I don't fish it made it's way into the sewing room

I keep mine on my thread holder. I can get three on each holder.

I use a blue (or purple) rubber ring for bobbins. I got mine at my LQS.

i keep my bobbins on my thread holder too but i keep the thread on it as well so they are always together so I dont have to look for the matching bobbin.

Wow, now that is wonderful! If I had the extra money I'd order one right away!! I wonder if hubby would take the hint and get it for me for Valentine's Day. Posting a picture of it to cover his computer should be enough of a hint, right?

I want to get a second doughnut to hold my threads that are not 100% cotton. Besides, I've run out of space so I sort of need another one.

I have several of the round rubber circles that hold the bobbins.........I use one color for my embroidery thread bobbins, another for piecng thread, and another for quilting thread........I really like them.

I have a little tray that holds about 25 of them on their sides. When I put them in, I try to make sure the last inch is underneath.

Hi Everyone.
Thanks for all your help. I did go to Connecting Threads and saw the doughnuts and I think I just may invest in a few of them without the thread, they were reasonable . Thanks again

If you put a golf tee through the bobbin hole, then you can stick the golf tee into the hole on the spool of matching thread. Keeps matching threads together.

Might your husband have some golf tees that he wouldn't miss??
