I bought some netting made for thread storage. I bought it at Linda Z's in Arlington Heights Ill. at a Juki class I took there in May.

I also use pony tail rings, I purchase them from Dollar Tree. I use the small bands for the bobbins. All of my thread has a pony tail band, I like the wider ones.

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!

I use my old hair scrunchies or hair ties.

I put a piece of double sided tape under the bottom of the cone and just stick the thread end there.

In the past I have used laundried knee-hi. Just wash and cut the toe out. Slips nicely over the cone.

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.

Thank you!

I have some sports adhesive tape. It sticks to itself but is also easy to undo. Comes in a roll!

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.
