When I had my sewing room built, I had pegboard put on the upper half of 2 sides of the room. I now have all of my threads and sewing gadgets organized & I am working on the fabric. I ordered pegboard pins from Amazon.com in boxes of 100, I think I have used 500 to date. I have LOTS of thread, rulers & other gadgets.
I think I paid $18.00 for a box of 100. |
If you have a Big Lots around, they usually have the best prices I have found.

I have a two 2 x 4 pegboards and absolutely love them both. One is devoted to my rulers (the longer ones are hung at the bottom) and the other is devoted to my quilt machine items (see my avatar). You can't go wrong with pegboard.

y'all know, i'm sure, in a pinch you can use twisted open paperclips
helps you to figure out the layout and to estimate what you need of each kind |
I too got mine at harbor freight. They had a great selection

I seen somewhere on here where one of the ladies had her husband make a threadboard from the pegboard. He used wooden dowels cut to the size she wanted. A couple of days ago I made one and I cut my pegs about 2 1/2" long. Then glued them in to hold my spools.Of course they are permanent. I might paint my board like a quilt.Mary

Try Lowe's or Home Depot for the "bat" anchors to keep your pegs in place.

Love your description. Made me laugh. Please post pictures as you progress.

I have a peg board too, it is handy to have all those do-dads where you can easily reach them. I keep my scissons,
rullers, templates and other do-dads on the board. |
