This is exactly how I keep bobbins and thread together! Great minds..............!

So simple, yet so brilliant! I have been trying various methods for thread storage and this is the one I want to try and I know I will love it. Great tip!

I have seen pipe cleaners at the Dollar Tree recently for those who have that store in your area. Very good tip!

Hmmn...multiple machines? I think you're in just the right place! Thanks for the brilliant tip. Off to the dollar store.

I have used pipe cleaners for years (could I have been the one who told you about them?) but I only use them when I have more than two matching bobbins or a spool that won't use a Handi-bob. Handi-bobs are best thing I have ever seen to store thread with matching bobbin. Don't buy them on a card -- buy a big handful on ebay or Amazon. Here's a description and photo: http://www.ebay.com/itm/20-Handi-Bobs-Bobbin-Holder-Organizer-Sewing-Machine-Singer-Brother-Kenmore-/380419871489?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5892ca9301 The other thing I do to keep sane (in the thread department) is to keep all neutrals in the top drawer of my sewing table. This is where the light is best and I can differentiate shades. All colors go on a large wall rack in ROYGBIV order (red-orange-yellow-green-blue-indigoi-violet). That's easiest for me.
