I use an organizing bin and take cardboard in just the right thickness to fit in the bobbin winder then I wind string onto the cardboard. It hold much more and if you use a hole punch for the hole in the bobbin winder it works great. I bring it with me almost everywhere so I can show people what colors I have to work with.

How do you bolt your pattern while working? I use jeans pants leg that i've cut last summer))it's convenient)) try it!

I am so getting one of these cases as soon as I get home!

Well, I started cutting out things out of cardboard so I am more organized but my green string has a big ugly knot In the middle so that is holding me back.

I bought a great case (it's DMC) in Michaels for around $4, and it came with 50 plastic bobbins! It took ages but I finally got all my string winded around all of them, and got it organized by color.. I'm so glad I did it, it's worth it! Now I can just look and see what colors I need to use or what color to buy next.

Joann's had a really nice bobbin case when I was in there a few days ago. I've stored my bobbins in the clear plastic cases for years now, but I don't really like the hinges on the cheaper ones. The new one I got is clear purple, (bonus because it is my fave color) and has a really nice hinge that won't snap with a ton of use. I am moving all of my DMC thread into that one, and my cheaper threads into my old bobbin boxes, since I don't use them as much. I can't bear to throw them away, as they are still good to use.

I wrap it up on folded paper, put it in a bag, and put it in my clip board ( it is one of those where it opens) It works pretty well for traveling. I just grab my clipboard and go.

where do you find the color number

@sydstein
The color number is usually on the label of the floss skein you buy.
Brands like DMC also often have color charts you can find them on their website or maybe you can ask for one in the store where you buy it.
