How do you keep your rayon thread from raveling off the spool? I have an upright box with pegs for alot of them, but the ones that just get dropped into a box could have a mesh cover or something wrapped around them. I'm looking for a "homemade" fix.... rather not have to go out & buy anything if possible, thanks.
Homemade????????? how about taking a bit of panty hose and make a "sock" for your spool with only one end open. |
i use the mesh wrappers when sewing with the thread, but if you have enough, use it for storage too. I use the children's hair bands from the dollar store for storing the embroidery thread. A few of the mesh wrappers came with my machine, so it is enough to use for now. I will check out the florist next time I'm out.
The panty hose idea sounds like an easy solution also. |
I sometimes tape the end with the medical paper tape. It works really well also. Not as sticky as clear tape and is reusable.

What's so special about re-enforcements? Then just use any adhesive label or part of.
A word of caution when you start using adhesives ... you could gum up your threads and create problems. Just a thought! |
I asked my local grocery store to save the flower nets they threw away. When I got them I cut to spool size slipped on.
Worked perfect! The down side after a while they do stretch, but not a big deal just get more nets Hope that helps dawn227 Also for bobbin thread you can get a piece of plastic tubing. Cut a slit in top player then trim to bobbin size
