One requirement for sure is to be able to see the color of the thread without having to pick the spool up.
I'm curious.... how do you store your thread and are you happy with it?
Thanks!
My big sewing table is set on top of three drawer chests for a base. They are 30" x 30" which is quite deep. The one to my left has all my threaded bobbins and the items I use constantly like thread snips, seam rippers etc. in the top drawer. I have a piece of foam board to lay over the top to hold pieces I want to sew. The second drawer holds all my regular spools of thread in shoe box tops. They are spread out so I can see the color I need immediately. It sure helps that I'm left handed also.
I keep all my dec thread in a 12" x12" seven drawer, plastic tower from WM with wheels. Each drawer holds a specific brand or use like Sulky, metalics etc. I can wheel it to the machine where I'm doing embroidery etc.
