those collapsible/pop up thread catchers
way too cute. I've been asked to teach them for to a class of 25
They will be paying a materials fee. So I want something more elegant than cut up pringles cans does anyone have a nice alternative, even tho it won't show? little bigger or smaller no prob. I even thought of cut up plastic mayo jars but haven't a clue how to cute them even and smooth... here is a tutorial of the project. http://fabrictherapy.blogspot.com/20...le-thread.html thank you, Sharyn |
I actually made something similar to this with my sister a couple of years ago! It has held up just fine - we used pringle cans as well. Stick to what works, is what I say.

So any sturdy cardboard tube you can cut would work. I also think I would stick with the Pringle’s tube since you have all the measurements. If you wanted to work out a different size, an oatmeal container would probably work as well.

Very cute and practical!! Would a canning jar ring work??
|
Thanks for that link. I just bookmarked it. Started a new hand quilting project a couple of days ago and was thinking I really should have a thread catcher nearby instead of just tossing them all onto the table top.

I am pretty sure when I made these years ago, I used small embroidery hoops with the screw removed and the end glued together. But it has been so long ago, I could be mistaken.

What about a plastic coffee can??
|
Cute. Will get some pringles next shopping trip.
