storing your thread
I was gifted a thread holder wondering how many of you use them. I was under the impression it was better to store it in a drawer?? I was also told it has a life of 3 years. I know some of mine is more than that and seems to work okay.

I store mine in a rolling plastic 3 drawer unit that I got at the dollar store. It works for me. I had one of the thread holders wth the pegs on it, but I had too many spools so I gave it away and went with the plastic drawers.
|
I keep mine in plastic bins with lids on them. Keeps things clean!

I've never understood how people can use the peg stands or the wall holders because my sewing room is always full of lint and dust from the fabrics. I vacuum at least three times a week and still have lint. I thought I must have the most fuzzy sewing room in the world. So with that said all my thread is also stored in a rolling drawer unit.

I keep mine on those peg stands. I know it could get dusty and I would have may have to replace it some day. But, I love having them handy and I can see quickly what I have and it is so easy to pick the thread I want to use. But, most importantly my young granddaughter loves to come and look at "grandma's colors". :)

I have it in the plastic pins with spool pegs. Much easier to pack it up and go when necessary. Now, iF I had only remembered to bring my 15 degree wedge tool with me.

Ditto...can't stand dusting thread spools!
|
I have 2 drawers , one for unused and one for in use.

I have threads much older than 3 years...and I still sew with them without problems. It may be a sales pitch from the thread distribitors to get us to buy more than we really need to.
