You can also use a pipe cleaner or an extra long twister like from around produce to fasten the spool and bobbin together.

BINGO! Love this idea....thank you!

At the suggestion of someone on this forum, I purchased a box of 10-24 3 inch bolts with a box of nuts from the hardware store. Put the bolt thru the spool and bobbing and screw on the nut.

This is my system for storing my spools and bobbins. I like to keep my bobbins with the spool of thread that they came from. I bought the Bobbin Mates from Clotilde and the Bobbin Wraps from Amazon. I have my thread stored on spool racks hung on the wall next to my machine.
