Talking A Few Tips For Anyone Who Sews

I use Altoid tins for my bobbins.I can fit 24 bobbins in a single tin by putting them in 2 layers deep with 12 bobbins each layer. I also found out the small medicine vials from prescriptions will hold the small spools of thread and the matching bobbin.I just attach a few coils of the thread to the lid covered with clear tape so I know what color it is.The larger vials will hold the larger spools and matching bobbins and I mark them the same way.No more tangled, unspooled,dirty thread and the bobbin is always right there so you don't have to search for it.Hope these tips help someone else as much as they do me.
