I washed an empty juice jug and cut off the top, then inserted it into my thread catcher. I just remove the jug to empty my threads at the end of the day. No more picking loose threads out of the bottomand off the sides of the thread catcher.
Also, I use a tool box for quilt guild and UFO days. Here are photos of my best idea for transporting my quilting gear.
Yellow tray in middle holds needles and other small needs. It swings out.
