I think I owned a grand total of 5 metal bobbins and they never ever had the colour I needed on them...and I used to get so mad with them when they ran out half way through setting a sleeve and I didn't notice!
But now, 14 years after graduating, I have a thread stand with room for every colour of thread I use and room for me to have a matching bobbin too....and my sewing machine has a top loading bobbin with a sew through cover so I can see how full it is and it never runs out.....I can't remember the last time I got annoyed at a bobbin - I highly recommend having loads of them!
*I was doing a 3 year degree course in theatre design at a drama college so every slight annoyance was jokilngly turned into a great big drama, just so we could keep up with the actors!

I love your organisation! When I have my craft room set up, I'm going to make sure I get more bobbins!! I get so annoyed when I never have the right colour on my limited set of bobbins - I think I need a thread stand like yours with a matching bobbin for every thread - perfect!

i love that thread stand!
on my old machine i only had about 5 metal bobbins too, and it was impossible to tell when they were going to run out so that frustration is one i know well!!
my new machine has that same top loading transparent bit AND i bought a bulk load of plastic bobbins so hurrah for an easy bobbin-life!
I am in love with your thread and bobbin stand. I always seem to be buying extra bobbins to get one with the colour I need because I can't bear to unravel them when they are all full.
