Bobbins...storing bobbins...

After waiting for these bobbins for several weeks after reading about them on Sue Houseman's blog
I even looked for them on a recent trip to Seattle! After I came home with none from there, I tried my local Viking shop again and there they were! They are just a pretty as I thought they'd be. it's not like I needed more bobbins, and to tell you the truth my favorite Viking bobbin color is still the green, but now I have plenty of bobbins and some color on the subject!The winning feature of the new bobbins is also that there are twice a many in a bag for much the same price! 20 instead of 10! that's a good deal. Now I need a really innovative and clever way to store bobbins. After much searching, I found that Artbin makes bobbin boxes, and Joann's has them online, so I ordered four to try them out. There is no perfect bobbin storage. The rings are awkward to find a place for in my system of drawers, so I hope the boxes will work out.

Hi Keely! Thanks for your comment. I should have said these are Viking bobbins, and the others that fit the machines these fit are the green Viking bobbins. BUT, these bobbins are also made for Pfaff and called Monet Bobbins. I don't know if the reference to Monet's impressionistic colors was seen to be too lofty for us Viking owners or what the deal there was! :)))))
