Do you cover your thread rack?

I just finally got all my thread onto racks. I don't have them covered yet but plan to. I've been looking for ways to do this effectively myself. I'll keep watching for more ideas.

I have just the thing!! Protects from dust & still able to see colors. Take a sandwich bag, slip over cone, measure on 2 sides where to sew, stitch with very small stitch, cut off to exact height on bottom.
Hope this is explained well enough.
Enjoy...

this is a great idea but I don't want to sew 60 bags!! I wonder if someone sells tiny little bags like that.....hmmmm, may have to do some research.Thanks for the idea.Originally Posted by ljptexas

I love this idea......I could even make something that coordinates with my studio colors!!Originally Posted by sak658
I took an extra quilt block that my mom had made and stripped around it with muslin and covered my thread holders .I attached ribbon at the top corners and tied a bow. Sweet memories of my mom.. I did not realize how dusty thread can get till I looked at it all one day, and wow...had to unwind the top layer..and cut it.

I like this! I never thought about covering my thread. Hanging a WIP in front is an excellent thought! :-DOriginally Posted by JanTx
NEVER thought about this! My sewing room is supposed to be the dining room (no one has been clear-the-table worthy in quite some time). My thread holder is sitting on the hutch top - not quite out in the open. I have a recent project in front of it - hanging from a clothes hanger hooked on the cabinet door. Is that enough? (It's not there as a dust cover - just there cause it was a place to put it!)
