I like how they work and that you can detatch one lvl if you go on a meeting or on a course where you dont need all your bobbins etc. I have tried the plastic boxes before as well as the ring. I wasnt really happy with either of them even if the ring worked better than the box imo. ;)Smultronbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11083623468869575015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3369260148647737464.post-77554651366501658042012-10-13T11:12:14.651-04:002012-10-13T11:12:14.651-04:00Connecting threads has a neat looking bobbin holde...Connecting threads has a neat looking bobbin holder that stacks. Havent tried one but looks like it might work. That case from JoAnne's looks like it would work well too. I currently have the ring thing.Gramma Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00117963096429818062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3369260148647737464.post-44746594833093075512012-10-12T19:48:21.634-04:002012-10-12T19:48:21.634-04:00I've been looking for a new solution.

I'm going to be looking for one of those.Stella Nemethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09830011033169280153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3369260148647737464.post-4126388319230387272012-10-12T18:30:52.241-04:002012-10-12T18:30:52.241-04:00wow! funny that you blogged this out - since just...wow! funny that you blogged this out - since just last week I spent about 2 hours looking for a new bobbin storage system. I was using a dritz box - but it was knocked off my table and spelled all over - plus then it broke. Sighhhh - I didn't chose the ring because it didn't have a cover. I think I'll take your recommendation and try this one!Nina Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14316034317827146338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3369260148647737464.post-67029520942030905062012-10-12T13:40:12.291-04:002012-10-12T13:40:12.291-04:00oh yeah, tangled mess?

I haven't really had too much of a tangled mess, but sometimes I put a little piece of scotch tape on the bobbin to keep the thread sort of in place.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312372228173240728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3369260148647737464.post-42769867076334354762012-10-12T10:17:01.065-04:002012-10-12T10:17:01.065-04:00I throw all mine in a little plastic box and use B...I throw all mine in a little plastic box and use Bobbin Keepers to keep them from unraveling: http://dixonproducts.com/bobbin-keeper-2006.htmlLindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17957348238714491201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3369260148647737464.post-81959705853581647062012-10-12T09:48:07.943-04:002012-10-12T09:48:07.943-04:00Pat, this is a great topic.

I think I have one of those last boxes too..but I bought it when I bought something else and it got "lost" in the excitement. <br />i will have to find it and put it to work. <br />(p.s. no JoAnn's close so I can't get them there. ) Gene Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15731141629634998152noreply@blogger.com
