Very creative, wonderful idea, send your idea to fons and porter and you may get a free year of their magazine. I know i would try if it were my idea.... :thumbup: :thumbup:

Aren't you clever !!

lillybeck 10-23-2011 05:07 AM
I think I will try this.

BizzieLizzie 10-23-2011 05:18 AM
Thank you for the idea. I was trying to figure out a good way of storing my threads and will give this idea a go. Fabulous! :thumbup:

Tudey 10-23-2011 05:37 AM
I like that--and thread socks work great on spools (not on bobbins) but I swear by thread socks. If you haven't seen thread socks, it is a plastic mesh tat you cut to the lengthof the spool and slide it over the thread to keep it from unwinding in your thread box.

Lowes, etc. sells clear plastic tubing by the foot. I think I bought 1/2" or maybe 5/8" tubing. I then sub cut it into smaller pieces that will fit my bobbin (approx. 3/8") and then cut the pieces so I can put them around the bobbin.

It's kind of like those bobbin buddies, only a lot cheaper and see-through.

So do you cut the plastic tubing in half so that it will go around the bobbin?

What a GREAT idea! Can't wait til those photo boxes go on sale for 50% off!

mimicrystal 10-23-2011 07:38 AM
awesome idea!!!!!

TammyB 10-23-2011 08:12 AM
Fantastic Idea. I'm going to make some today. I think I have all the supplies except the tubing. I've often been frustrated that it's difficult to keep the bobbin with the thread, but this will work great!

Sunnye 10-23-2011 08:19 AM
What a clever idea.

emsgranny 10-23-2011 08:24 AM
Great idea - I have always put my thread in boxes to keep from dust. Unfortunately I went the more expensive route and actually bought the plastic clear boxes from JoAnns when they have them half price - Love the idea of the plastic tubing will have DH pick me up sone next time he is there!!! Thanks for sharing

Tinabug 10-23-2011 08:24 AM

What a great idea!

anngi 10-23-2011 08:31 AM
This looks like a great idea, my reels are stored by colour in ice cream cartons, but can get tangled. I don't recognise 'foam board', can anyone help? What would it be called in U.K.? Thanks for the idea and help.

gramquilter2 10-23-2011 08:55 AM

Thanks for sharing. Great idea!

MaryAnnMc 10-23-2011 10:11 AM
I predict a major run on photo boxes this week! And golf stores. Where is a cheap place to buy tees?

johnnietate1225 10-23-2011 10:24 AM
Great Idea - thanks. I also have recently purchased an embroidery machine and find myself with lots of spools of thread to store. Glad to get this tip before I went in the wrong direction regarding storing them.
