I use these bobbins too, and while they do come undone a little, I don’t really worry that much. I just tuck the loose thread under the wound part… I am eyeing how you’re using the two notches and might switch up. That looks much better and more secure.
I do store all my bobbins in a fishing tackle box tray, they fit really good and the trays have dividers so I can keep them in order.
I tried a few different ways, but I definitely found that this worked the best. I might give it a go and tuck the end under the wound bit, too.
The tackle box is a brilliant idea. I just don't have enough thread right now to justify one, and the craft shop ones specifically for thread organising are so expensive. 😢 Originally thought of getting a big metal ring to hold them together, but with this thread issue, it'd be a nightmare.
