I also have a 6 drawer plastice bin on wheels - available at office supply stores. For my cones I have plastic storage boxes with a handle on the lid....I think I got those from Costco. I need to get more because Fabric Depot had Serger cones on sale for $2.50....and I have enough of those to last me a decade...if I live that long. :shock:

I have a very large basket. I put the spools acording to color in heavy plastic one gallon Zip lock bags. I put a cheap dollar store pony tail holder on each one of the spools so they don't unravel. I just have to reach for the right color bag open it up and reach in. This is very inexpensive and easy to find the right one quickly. It also keep them clean and dust free.

One requirement for sure is to be able to see the color of the thread without having to pick the spool up.
I'm curious.... how do you store your thread and are you happy with it?
Thanks!

I keep all my dec thread in a 12" x12" seven drawer, plastic tower from WM with wheels. Each drawer holds a specific brand or use like Sulky, metalics etc. I can wheel it to the machine where I'm doing embroidery etc.

I purchased Lily 3 drawer plastic units on wheels from
Office Max...my husband cut white peg board to fit
the drawers....then purchased wooden dowels the size of
the holes in the peg board....cut them to height needed
for spools...spaced them for spool size and glued them
in the holes of the peg board....I'm very happy with
that setup...works well for me

My boyfriend made me some thread holders. If anyone is interested in one e-mail me at [email protected]. He also makes them shorter.
