Hi David
A few years ago at a Congress in either Denmark or Germany we saw one of the
suppliers working on a project which required some 4000 [continental]
bobbins [not sure if my husband misunderstood the number when he asked how
many - but there was an awful lot of them] - she managed them beautifully.
Those not in use were slid into an implement shaped pretty much like a
tuning fork [but with longer arms] the handle part was actually a long pin
which was stuck into the pillow, holding the bobbins in a vertical stack.
They were kept in order and pinned neatly like sentinals on her pillow and
were kept out of the way while not in use. I have a number of similar
holders [though not the version with the pin] which I use for my Suffolk
bobbins, for Midlands bobbins I use slim metal knitting stitch holders which
I can then stack on top of each other and secure with a long pin or two [ie
a hat pin] to keep them out of the way.

<The thought came to me that there never seems to be enough room for
all those bobbins >
