I love my Alex cabinet, currently my embroidery machine with the embroidery unit sits on top of the cabinet. (I have a SewEz table for the machine when I want to use it for sewing.) I got drawer spice holders for the thread so I could lay the thread on its side so I can see the colors quickly. My problem is keeping the like colors together. It's too easy when finished just quickly returning them to an empty space (especially when someone else is helping me).
