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.

But the board in the box and then put the thread and bobbins on the tees. One thing I still have left to do is to replace all the hair ties with clear plastic tubing to hold the thread on the bobbin. |
What a neat idea for those large spools as well as the shorter ones.
|
That is a great idea!!!
|
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing.
|
Great idea!!
|
Invention is a beutiful thing. Way to go I'm sure it was alot cheaper than my thread storage container from JoAnns on sale.
|
I tried the clear tubing also. Be really careful...it is hard to see.I made a mess once, putting on a bobbin without removing the tubing My eyes aren't what they used to be. lol
|
good idea

It's kind of like those bobbin buddies, only a lot cheaper and see-through. http://www.nancysnotions.com/product...ortby=ourPicks |
