I had never heard of Hugo's tape. Found this article by Googling:

and ordered a roll of the 1" tape on Amazon to try out:

I'm thinking it will be useful also for wrapping cords together. Seems like we have a jungle of cords around the house!

You can use the mesh wrap,its like what sergers use to control thread. Its the same thing that the florist put on flowers, I've heard you can get it from them. I've also used the little dots you can buy at the $ store, like little minature labels to hold the end of the thread to the top of spool. Mostly, I have different thread containers for my serger, emb and sewing thread and just keep them in the drawers and don't have a problem.

for the cones I use on the long arm, I have them sorted by color into 2 "layers" of plastic tubs---I took a deep plastic tub and set a 8" one of the same width & length into it--so I have 2 layers for cones in a tub that I can seal and not have to worry about dust. Since I put any leftover bobbins with the cone(inside the cone) I slip each color (I have 2-3 of most colors) into a baggie to keep them together.
