poowopddbop, love your tackle box, thread rack and mason jars. DH had some little containers with lids that he didn't use so I divided my embrodiery thread by colors in them. I have regular thread divided by color and stored in foldout cabinet DH made me years ago, it sits by my machine on floor and I also keep notions and odds and ends in it. I like to keep my thread out of light and as dustfree as possible.
