Default How do you organize your thread?

I meant to reply to group.

The Bernina People told me that Coats and Clarks was the worst thread you
could use on your machine. Can anyone back that up?
That was all I ever bought, but now I'm changing over to a better thread
since my son bought me a new Bernina Artista 730. I still don't know how to
use it though. I can sew but haven't tried to hook it up to the PC yet. It
kind of scares me.

I have two IKEA bookcases back to back and each shelf has
two cheap plastic drawer units. Threads are sorted by
thread content and colour in one bookcase (polys and cottons
separated in drawers and rayons in the small boxes at the
top, then sorted by colour) and all the beading stuff is in
the other bookcase, mostly in screw top plastic pill
containers.
