hubby made me a wall cabinet for my thread..

when there is still thread left on the bobbin after a project, I put the bobbin on top of the thread for the next use.....
already for the next usage............

Works just fine.....mj

I have a thread rack but most of my thread is stored in plastic see-through boxes. I have it sorted into cotton, poly and embroidery thread. Then there are the bobbin holders with different colours for the different threads. I also put a dab of nail polish on the bobbins so I can tell if it is cotton or poly thread.
My machine needles are sorted on a tomato pin cushion, it is divided up so I know where the different needles are.

that wallcabinet is just great. I love the frame!

I bought the little zipper bags(like your ziploc bags) at your local hobby lobby that you put jewelry in for my bobbins. I hold onto the thread and seal shut. I bought a thread shelf at an estate sale.

My threads are stored in a Bernina thread box that I won years ago.
I have alot of thread so also have an Ace Hardware box that another student at QBL showed me - also holds wider spools than the Bernina.
Threads that are likely to be in current use are on a thread rack that hangs on the wall behind my machine.
Cones are on a cone-tree.

My bobbins are stored in drugstore daily pill boxes and in the rubber circle bobbin holders that I bought w/coupons at Joanns.
One color for cotton, another for Bottom Line.

all my machines take different bobbins so I keep them in plastic stores boxes, the little ones. I like the idea of the pony tail holders, I'll try that

I read on the internet somewhere about a quilter that used ice cube trays to store bobbin in. Haven't tried it, but it sounds like a good idea.

I use an antique "printer's drawer". The little spaces are perfect for a spool of thread and its bobbin mate! And, it looks pretty too. :)

Mine is similar only made of wood. My thread used to get very dusty out on it's pegboard on the wall. I keep my bobbins in those little rubber donuts, in the drawer as well.

For all my bobbins, I found cigar boxes that have the forms built in for the cigar tubes....The bobbins stick nicely in the form where the cigar tubes use to be... They are all "side up" so I can see the color easily! The best thing is that they don't roll around in my drawer any more!

Let me know if you want me to send you a picture!

So sorry the sewing bug bit you! :lol:
