Sadly most are chucked in a drawer and large plastic bag BUT do have some in containers!!

Until I get my sewing room made I have been storing my threads in rectangular plastic boxes. I store my bobbins in empty qtip boxes, it works for now

I use the soft plastic bobbin boxes (JoAnn's $3-4) - have one for my Singer, one for my Bernina and one for embroidery threads. Most of my threads I store in a plastic stacking bin; the embroidery threads are bottom up in plastic bins as well (don't like the dust that accumulates if they are left out or on a rack. I use the nick on the older spools to keep thread from unraveling. Was really excited when I saw how they revamped the new spools The bobbins I make sure are wound back up when I place them in the box - most times they will stay that way.

I use the round doughnut like rubber bobbin holders.

I have one for each thread type and thread weight. I marked each bobbin holder with the thread type and size on the side of the center hole with a sharpie pen.

That way, I know what kind and what size of thread is on a bobbin. With my eyes and with having some threads in the same color only different sizes, I never could be sure what was on a bobbin. LOL...

I use thread racks. I put the bobbin on first & then the matching thread on top of the bobbin. That way I don't have to search for the matching bobbin thread.

Now that's a smart idea.

My regular thread is in a drawer in a cabinet on my left ( I'm left handed) under my machine counter. I organize them in the tops of shoe boxes. Bobbins are stored in bobbin cases in the same drawer. I use the blue plastic tape that sticks to itself to control tangling. It's great, can be cut and used over and over again.
Since I also embroider, I have a 14" square, seven drawer, plastic stacked cabinet from WM that holds all my decorative thread and can be rolled around the room. I have a huge thread rack (thanks to the old Fabric World closing) hanging above my serger with all my serger thread.
I store most of my working projects, scraps for snippets, PP, and machine tools in three drawer rolling plastic cabinets that fit under the tables where my machines are set up.
I use an old typewriter (remember those?) table when I'm working. I put my fabric selections on the top and a box underneath to catch scraps. Also use another T table with a padded ironing top to roll to my right side for quick pressing. This is much easier than a rolling chair and it sure works for me. Have to baby these 82 year old legs these days. Yes I do get up every hour, have a big, cold glass of water and ssstttrreettccchhhh.
The best part is they can all be easily moved to any work area or stored out of the way when not needed.

I store my extra new rolls in the freezer in a zip/freezer bag. the tread dont seem to break so easy. Works grat

I have written about my method for storing bobbins here (http://www.26-letters.com/2010/07/di...amboo-skewers/) and thread here (http://www.26-letters.com/2010/07/di...printers-tray/).

I find it works very well.

Same here.
