- I've wound all my floss on cardboard bobbins., I like them better than the plastic ones - easier to write the color numbers on. Bobbins are stored in plastic boxes. To me, that's the best way to organize. -- pauline from Barnegat, NJ -- Nov 03
- I HATE bobbins of any kind. For years I've used Floss Away bags and stored them in the red and white checked storage boxes. Mine are really old, I take good care of them. Don't know if they are even available anymore but the Floss Away bags are. -- Jane from -- Nov 04
- I would be interested in floss as i'm starting new project -- elainecripe yahoo.com from camden n.y -- Dec 10
- elainecripe, the oP is not offering floss. Maybe you replied to the wrong post. -- Joan from USA -- Dec 10
- I purchased one of those tool storage Bins - has 18 plastic drawers - floss lays right in. Have numbered the drawers 100-200, 201 -300, etc. -- Sarah from Bulverde TX -- Jan 12
- I don't like bobbins either. I also have a lot of floss. I store mine in the Floss Away bags and use plastic recipe boxes and index cards that you can get at any office supply store. I put them in numerical order. I have at least 6 boxes of floss. -- Linda Delcamp from Brighton Mi -- Feb 06
- I buy the snack bags,looks just like sandwich bags but snack bags. I put them on a ring which opens and then I by number. When I start a new project, I go look my numbers all up and put on another ring and then my left over thread is there and maybe even a threaded needle. -- dorismjaques56 gmail.com from Cortez, Co. 81321 -- Apr 20
