My son gave me a thread rack and I decided to make it into a ruler holder.I laid it flat and it holds alot of rulers very well.Here is a picture.I hope you can see what I did with it.

I would not have thought of that! clever! :thumbup:

Good thought... something to think about using.

What a great idea. That would have never occured to me. Great job and what a creative idea. Thanks for sharing.

Very clever.

You are SO smart!!

GENIUS!!!!! :thumbup:

NOW, you show us these, after I put mine in a yard sale and sold them. LOL

Great idea!

That is such a good idea.
I have a thread rack that I don't use. But I will now.
Thanks

You are so smart!

Love the idea, but I wish I had somewhere to set it.

great idea... :-D

What a great idea

Great idea! I have one I'm not using.

How about hanging it on the wall? If you put a bumper or something on the back along the bottom, it will cantilever it out just enough to keep the rulers in the rack.

And I put mine in the Goodwill box and took it to them. Oh, well someone will probably find a good use for it.

Sooooo clever!! I love how it will hold all sizes too :D:D:D

Well, aren't you the clever one!!?? :lol: :thumbup:

Great idea!

That's thinking outside the square - clever girl.

Wish I hadn't given away my thread holder...what a clever and imaginative idea.

Oh! I am crazy about your idea, I'm doing it as soon as I get home tonight. Thank you soooooooooo much!

What a fantastic idea. I have one laying around somewhere collecting dust, I will have to find it and copy your clever idea :thumbup:

Oh yes...good idea

What a great eye you have! I see many thread racks with a new future on this board!

Great idea, have to try this.

Very clever. I use a folder rack from the office supply section of WM.

Hi Friends,
I used an extra thread rack for rulers, but I left my hanging on my pegboard so I didnt have to use my countertop. Works like the photo for the regular, and the larger ones will usually have a hole that will fit the spool peg if the ruler is too big to stay put, like my 15-inch square and the big triangle.

Very clever. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the idea.
I will convert mine to hold my rulers as well.

The things I learn here is awesome.
We have such gifted and practical quilters on this board.

Happy sewing,
Sandi

What an interesting idea.

very clever!! will try that one

Cleaver idea. You put it to good use.

What a cool idea. Thanks for sharing.

Great idea!

Have a ruler holder and it certainly doesn't hold a lot, your is much more efficient.

What a great idea!

My son left a ceramic toothbrush holder he made and I now use it to hold my small rulers, pens, sissors and other odds and ends on the small table next to my sewing machine. It has an opening in which one could put a cup and the lip is flared outward with holes to hold toothbrushes - great place for my stilletto at the end of the day. It also has what looks like an attached coaster at the base which is a great place to keep spare bobbins.

Thanks for your idea.

Thanks for that idea! I have two of those racks and they re constantly getting knocked over. Time to lay them flat!LOL

Great idea, but mine hold all my embroidery thread or most of it, anyway. Must buy some more when I can get them 1/2 price.
