Great way to keep the dust off, I use the thread stockings to keep them fron unwinding, Got them from Medena Emb.

great idea and i have one of those bins !!!!!

Rock Lady 01-14-2011 07:19 AM

Wonderful idea. Get a patent on it and make yourself some money -- money that MUST be spent on more quilting supplies and/or material, of course.

that is one way to keep all my cottons stand up instead of for ever falling down when ever I get into the drawer. Thanks for the idea.

Cuddly Quilter 01-20-2011 02:33 AM

Such a fantastic idea and easy to do. thanks for sharing. Going to change my cotton storage asap to this. ;-)

KrystelsQuilts 01-20-2011 04:22 AM

OMG this is a wonderful Idea. I have 4 of those exact drawer units in storage and no idea what to do with them. This is PERFECT! Thank you so much for sharing.

pippa45 01-21-2011 07:45 PM

Isnt that a great way to store threads.
I did a similar thing, but I used golf tees,
$2.50 per 100.
Cheers Marlene.

I love love this idea, I am currently trying to think of another use for the spool racks, I have 3 that will be empty when I get the storage tower all set up.
Thanks again for sharing.

You can also buy pegboard at the hardware store ( My husband
got white)....buy dowels to fit....cut to fit the drawers and
cut dowels to size needed for spools....glue them in place.
I have a rolling cart from Office Max done this way...works
great.
