Try breaking a bit of the thread. If you can break it easily, its too old to sew with! You will be sorry if you put alot of time into piecing something and it all falls apart with ancient thread. It gets brittle.

i use paper-sided pre-wounds in my Juki. I would put the spools in a pretty jar.

Definitely display them so you can see them!

I also have big mason jar of wooden spools. I think they are really cool.

I tie ribbon through the holes and decorate small Christmas tree for the sewing room. I tie small scraps of material on it also.

Thanks for the ideas, I really like the idea of putting them in a glass jar to display them. I was planning on using the thread - waste not, want not. I had no idea that pre-wound bobbins were made out of paper! I have never seen pre-wound ones so this was brand new to me. Thanks everyone who posted!
my local quilt shop still sells them and all the upholstery stores, as well....

I, too, have a little lamp that was made out of a mason jar and I keep all of the old thread in it that has come my way!
