ArtBin 8155AB Bobbin Box, Translucent Clear

It holds all my empty and prewound bobbins nicely so I'm not always hunting them down. It serves its purpose. It takes up less space than the bobbin caddy I have made by Clover (the one that you snap the wound bobbins into).

I'd like to counter the 2 reviewers that were surprised the box was coming without bobbins. Bobbin boxes don't normally come with bobbins so please don't give a product one star because you assumed they would! If you had looked at either the picture or description you could have figured out what you were buying.

Box holds your bobbins, not neatly, but together. There's no separator in each row to keep bobbins in place, so if you have fewer bobbins than a full row, they'll slide around or fall over. It's a bit annoying to try to fish out the one that fell sideways after you've opened up some space by removing one. I ended up buying a different box from Dritz that had little cups that held each bobbin individually. This one is being used for specialty sewing feet instead.

This is a nice box but I also got the Dritz box and it is a bit nicer, in my opinion. Take a look at the Dritz box also before you decide. Neither box comes with bobbins, though I don't why anyone would think they did.

Ok, it's a bobbin holder. It holds them just fine when it is full. The lid stays closed and I initially thought this gave it a huge advantage over my other bobbin holder. However, when this one is not full, the bobbins roll all around and tangle up. When it is full, you need a tool to get the one you want out. Or just very, very small fingers. A second small problem, if you have so many bobbins that you need to purchase cases to store them in, it is likely that you would want to be able to see what color thread you have on your bobbins quickly and with accuracy. This case is not clear transparent, so you have to open the lid. This, in turn, negates the benefit of having a lid that stays closed. In writing the review I realize, this bobbin holder case is perfect for holding a full load of bobbins you don't really use much and have little intention of using any time soon and so don't have any need to see clearly. Ofcourse, I can think of a lot of things around my house that would also be up to that challenge.

This bobbin box, if that's what you want to call it, is okay and gets the job done, because it holds the bobbins. However, the major problem with this bobbin box is this: it does not have a separate compartment for each bobbin; and thus, the bobbins with threads get tangled.

Being that the bobbins still uncoil in this box, my problems with tangled threads still exist. This bobbin box actually is no different than a small little generic box that I currently have that holds bobbins, because it still gets tangled with other bobbins threads.

If I had done a proper research, I would not have bought this because there are better bobbin boxes than this (i.e., bobbin boxes that have a compartment for each bobbin). Therefore, if you are looking for a bobbin box, buy one that has a compartment for each bobbin, for it will be MORE ORGANIZED and make your job much easier.

All in all, this bobbin box is not terrible (it's nice) because it holds bobbins and other small sewing tools; however, the lack of compartment is the problem, because threads are not properly secured.
