Thank you, Noelene, for that suggestion! I've purchased a couple of pairs of 27" long shoelaces, and tried them out. They are wonderful!
It's a little scary seeing all those bobbins and threads jumbled together, and kind of amazing when you untie the bow and straighten the shoelace to see all the bobbins lined up perfectly on the pillow. The thing I like best about this method is that you can remove bobbins from either end of the shoelace, then just tie it back up and place it out of the way again. Now if I could just fine something as easy, quick and versatile for my continental bobbins!
