My cotton thread is on the wood thread racks on a shelf since I don't have a lot of that kind of thread. For my embroidery thread I have an Omar cabinet from Ikea. But then I have so many more of the embroidery than the cotton thread. I tried to create a plastic cover for it to keep the dust off the thread, but it was more trouble than it was worth.

Oh, I should add that I only keep my regular sewing thread on the racks. I have several plastic boxes that I got when I didn't some work for Sulky at the Quilt Festival that have all my decorative thread in them.

Most of mine are stored in the matchbox car boxes; at the time i got them they were cheap; like 2.97 or something like that. I don't even know if they still make them; fishing tackle boxes work well to and some are similar to the matchbox boxes - depending on which one you get; there are many to choose from to fit your needs. I also have some on a thread carousel my bil made for me. And some on the open thread racks. I made dust covers for them to keep the air and light from them.

I have three machines that use three different bobbins. Sometimes I'll use the same thread in all three machines. If I separate a bobbin from the spool, I can never match them up again. Therefore, I put thread and bobbins in a zip lock bag and put them in a drawer.
