    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:

    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.
