I like these: http://www.allthreads.com/BobbinSaver.aspx -- they come in
several colors, so I can separate cotton from poly threads, I can pick out a
bobbin even if the thing is jammed full, and the bobbins survive cat hockey.
I do have one cat that can pick the bobbins out for cat hockey, but if I hang
them up, he doesn't bother.

Thanks, Kay, those look very useful. I may order one of the
Nancy Zieman ones and one of those to see which works best
for me. I'm tired of dealing with unwound bobbins....

I use small plastic zip bags, 3" x 4" with the spool of thread and
matching bobbin in one bag. Make sure the loose end is not sticking
out, and it won't unwind. Then you can throw them all in any kind of
box. You can put more than one spool in a bag provided that they are
either identical or completely different colors.

I don't think I want to deal with over 1,000 bags of
thread/bobbins/minicones....
YMMV

I use the quart size bags to hold similar color small spools of thread, but
it would not work to have a bobbin for each spool for those who have a lot
of spools. I have a bobbin box that will hold about 75 bobbins. Most are
empty. I have two large 3 drawer, stacking plastic units to keep most of
the cone thread, and zip lock bags of spool thread in. Oh, one drawer holds
my most used patterns.
