I use the tiny childrens hair bands? They are stretchy/terry. You can get a huge amount of them at walmart for 2 or 3 dollars.

These are what I mean. Don't buy them at quilt shops. You can get the same thing at almost any store in the children's hair band/accessories dept. Much cheaper!

I love my bobbin savers. I have two; one lays next to my embroidery machine and I have my second one hanging from a screw near my regular sewing machine. Life would be impossible without them.

This is what I use as well. They have them at the dollar store as well.

I use multiple bobbin boxes since I wind over 100 bobbins periodically.

I love love my bobbin savers. One of the best investments in sewing notions I have. I got mine at either JoAnns or Hancocks with a coupon. Keeps bobbins together and they don't unwind.
