Folding Thread Catcher

[Butterflyspain]

Hi everyone. Today my local sewing club did a tutorial on this neat Thread Catcher, handy to carry to your sewing classes.

Pictures first so you know what I am talking about, Then I will give you the directions.

Please bare with me I have at least 7 pictures before I give the tutorial

I used a rubber ring I made instead of the 4" Embroidery Hoop. I stapled it and then covered it with tape

Showing how I did it

Cardboard covered with batting on both sides and then sewn together

What makes this stand up when you are using it?

for substitute for the embroidery hoop, how about a piece of tubing like for fish tanks? I use that often and use a 1" piece of dowel into each end to make the circle. Susan G
