I LOVE YOU! I'm tired of chasing thread under every table and chair in my house!

Try Dollar General, too. I picked up a couple of things (not for sewing but for my office) for $50 and a dollar. Love that Dollar General!!

And the color means it's unlikely to get lost somewhere!
Great idea, Opal Jane :-D
