Really nice!! Way to go, dad!

BizyStitches 04-17-2011 11:15 AM

So nice, I really like it. Do you embroider from there or do you move your machine to a table so you can sit. I don't think I would be able to use my embroidery machine without sitting. LOL easier to see for me. But then I'm short.

JSNOMORE 04-17-2011 11:18 AM

I leave it there. I'm usually sewing or cutting while the machine is running

So very nice - a great piece of furniture. Great craftmanship you dad has.

Any chance he would like two of us??????

It is just lovely. How many drawers actually hold thread? Are there any that are sized for the larger cones or for bobbins? Very creative.

annette1952 04-17-2011 01:07 PM

Wow! It is beautiful!

Ziva 04-17-2011 01:32 PM

There are a total of nine drawers. The top one is for my hoops and scissors and such. The rest of the drawers have pegs in them to hold spools of thread. I didn't want it for the cone thread. I have that in the room with my quilting machine. This one was for regular sewing thread and for my embroidery thread. Each drawer holds a differant color. Embroidery thread on the right and sewing thread on the left.And look I still have room. I guess I need to go shopping. HEHEHE
