My favorite system (which I have not come even *close* to mastering...) is when those huge 12" pins are used to scoop up 6 - 8 bobbins at a time and stack them vertically in front of another set...
That's what gave me the idea of using hat pins with spangled bobbins. I was making a Beds pattern with 350 bobbins. I tried Clay's favourite system but it didn't seem to work with the spangles. So I tried using hat pins and loved it - and I can fit 8 - 12 pairs on a pin.
