Hi Everyone!

I am just so dog-gone excited to try this new thread holder my brother made for me. He just delivered it today while visiting for lunch.

I had asked him a couple weeks ago to make something to hold my thread while machine embroidering. I was holding the thread in a glass and that worked ok for a while and then it would break the thread at some unexpected moment. So I was frustrated with the embroidering.

It isn't tried out yet... but, it looks perfect to me.

God bless brothers!

What a sweet brother!

neat work and clever mind - great brother!

He is just a year older than me and has always been my male twin... LOL! Not really but, he is always making something. (mostly race and historic cars.)

We are pretty close as far as families go. Four of us live here in the Reno area. It sure makes it fun during the holidays.

Cute.

Neat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Looks like he spent a lot of time and money on this! Copper tubing!! Walnut wood!! You really rate with your brother!! LOL!!

so nice of him to do that for you

Really nice! I need something like that for my Sidewinder to avoid the spool jumping off the peg that keeps collapsing.

Love the copper, but did you have to spray it with lacquer to make sure it won't, down the road, turn your thread green? Sure is pretty!

I bet you could sell those!

That's what I was thinking! I'd certainly buy one or two!

Hey, I have one of those,too! A great brother that makes me things....LOL

Is he going to sell some?

Well that looks like it will be "handy dandy" as my granny used to say.

How wonderful: OHHH I miss my brother so much: He was not only my brother but a best friend: U R one lucky lady - I do the same w/my big thread spools (put them in a glass jar) so far it has worked but this invention looks GRRRREAT:

I would be intersted in buying too!!

Hi everyone... Thanks so much for the great comments.

I called my brother a minute ago to let him know there is some interest in the thread holder. He said he would make some after he finishes the race car this fall. He is amazing at the things he manufacter's.

I imagine that it will be into the winter though, he is a perfectionist. LOL!

Let me know if you are interested and I will hold your names until he makes them and let you know, ok?

To answer one person's question, yes it was clear coated all over.

I love it!

Very nice--should be handy.

That is very nice. I had my hubby make me a similar thread holder but, shhhhh, don't tell him it's not as nice as your brother makes!

I love your gift. It is lovely.

Wow, great looking thread holders

I'm jealous!@

I love it. It even matches the sewing machine lifters I make. If you sell them, I would like a few. Thanks for sharing this with us. I love to use large spools to sew. Talk to you soon. HUGS♥♥

Well, how cool is that?! Very nice custom Shepard's hook!

Nice! and very attractive...

it looks great. Wonderful brother.

Nice!!! Wish I had a brother!

Wow that looks great! Alot better than the one I made with a coat hanger and scrap poplar wood.

That's a neat thread holder and a super brother.

You can put me down for one - just let me know price etc. my zip for mailing is 65101.

You are so lucky to have a brother that is so handy and for him to stop work on race car to make you one you must rate!! You know boys and their cars!!! I lost my brother a few years back - he was only 52 !!!! I miss him a great deal.

very nice

What a great brother you have!

Looks like it will work great. I use a coffee cup to hold my large spools. Maybe he should patent it. I'd buy one.

Yes, thank God for wonderful brothers! Beautiful thread holder and will last forever!

Very clever and nicely made. I'd definitely be interested in buying one.

very cool can I buy one from you....I mean it, for real I want to buy one....

*W*O*W*
Good job.
I don't have a brother, can I borrow yours???

That thread holder is so cool. I love it when I present my big brother with a challenge like that. He made me some extra large knitting needles from 1" dowel sticks. They work well. I knitted him a rug with 13 strands of yarn. He loved it. He said it was super soft to stand on. I need to make him another.

What a wonderful brother!!

Great piece of work! Lucky you to have a handy brother!
