I cut peg board to fit in the bottom of desk drawers next to my embroidery machine. Then I cut 1/4" doweling into 3" lengths and put them into the peg board so the thread can't move around too much. There are 1/2" wood strips under the pegboard and the doweling goes through the pegboard 1/2" so everything stays in place. Nothing is glued together so it is all re-arrangeable when needed. I have about 120 mini-cones of thread in each drawer and all I have to do is open a drawer to see all the thread in it. I use madeira thread and right now only fill 1 drawer so I keep it arranged by color number. When I expand to 2 drawers I may want to rearrange by color group, but I mostly use emblibrary designs so color numbers work great for me.
