Dear Lacemakers, This fabric book appears to be a good solution - but... I'd suggest against felt, because your fine lace threads can pick up fuzz that can get worked into your lace.

What I use is some left over squares from an unfinished quilt. The squares are about 5 inches square. I took 4 of the squares and sewed them together down one side in a sort of book format. This gives me three pages where I can place the bobbins which need to put aside. It also lets me keep them in order for when I have to use them again. Depending on the type of bobbins being used, I have had up to 10 pairs in each page for a total of 30 pairs neatly placed out of the way. I use a divider pin placed on the open side of the book to hold the bobbins in so they don't fall out when being moved. I have had up to three of these little books on my pillow at the same time, place on top of each other and had not problems. I'm guessing that several pieces of felt from the craft store would also work. **************Start the year off right.
