Nor sure if anyone else will find these useful, but the drawer where I tossed my bobbins when changing thread, after filling, etc was a  bird's nest of unravelling thread, broken rubber bands and unsticking painters tape. . I am sure there are other solutions, but these are prototypes that have made a huge difference in the sewing machine drawer. Not a nest to be fond now. I may add a textured flat panel to write thread info, and use white resin which will accept pencil marking. The spools are a snug but comfortable fit.

Nice work! I like them. I always tie my end off around the bobbin. But that gets to be a PITA everytime switching bobbins. 

Great work. Them look handy.

I'm just doing some final tweaking so I have some extras. If you'd like to play with a couple and want to pay for postage (+-$5) let me know.

I cut off the fingers from latex gloves . . . put the bobbin in there . . . write with a felt tip marker what size it is or whatever 

Been doing that for 20+ years . . . 

But may look into this.  Looks neat

Nice but these are only for the bobbins. The larger spools are a different and simpler problem. I just use a wide rubber band.

Looks like a great idea!

I use those on the bobbins.  The thread in the pictures are small spools.  I couldn't use them on a smaller bobbin but for my Cowboy 4500, it works great.  JM2C, Jim

My 3200 is one of the best things I have ever bought. Hasn't dropped a stitch in 10 years. Mine must be an early one, as it doesn't even have a Cow Boy sticker! Somehow, it seems to work perfectly, even without one...

I'll  fire off a few of the final holders for you to have a look at. I am assuming they fit current spools..mine are all 10 years old as well.
