Thread Keeper
 

This spool of quilting thread has a mind of its own and just will not stay wound up. Yesterday's bright idea was to make a sleeve for it so I cut a piece from an old headband, stitched it up and voila!....the thread stays in place and feeds nicely from the top!

Thank You for a great idea. I will sure use it. I hate it when I open my thread drawer and have a million loose threads hanging around.

If it is a larger thread spool then you can use those plastic expandable sleeves that those small tomatoes are sold in.

What a neat idea! I just love all the great things the folks here on the board come up with!

Wonderful idea.

Thanks! That is a GREAT idea!!!!

Great solution. You rock!

this is what i used my 'ruined' pantyhose for... just sew a long seam down the leg with tiny zigzag stitches so you can cut off the length you need for the next spool without it unraveling. I sew at least 2 tubes (one on each side of the leg before cutting apart. they will fit most spools if you make the tube approx 1.5", but of course you can adjust if you have gutterman little spools or super large spools from other brands....

What a neat idea!

very cool!!!!!!!
