Well you don't have to deal with this anymore!!! Flat thread bobbins are your answer! And you don't need to go out to the shop to buy them!Follow this tutorial to make your own.... storage bobbins!
What you need:

- Glue (glue stick or PVA glue)
- Scissors
- Printable Bobbin Template (Links below)
- Your Threads
STEP ONE:
find a printable bobbin, mine are from this website :
http://molliejohanson.com/wildolive/ThreadBobbins.pdf (but you can get them from wherever you want)
Once you've printed out your bobbin, glue the whole sheet to a piece of card, making sure you put glue in the middle of the sheet aswell as round the edges.
STEP TWO:
It's easier if you trim the individual bobbins into squares so you can cut out the bobbins easier.
STEP THREE:
Cut out the bobbins on the lines given. If the paper template seems loose, add more glue so it's secure.
STEP FOUR:
Cut two lines into the top of the bobbin at a slight inward angle, this is to hold the start and end of your thread so it doesn't unravel.
STEP FIVE:
Your bobbin is complete, now you just need to wind your thread around it.
And You Are Done!
