I am planning my quilt studio right now. At the moment it is a piece of cement but the builders are busy. While reading this thread I decided it might be a good idea to try making a big pegboard 'book'. What I mean is having several sheets/pages of pegboard to maximize the width from the wall. I will back each sheet as normal with 1x2's for the framing but then put a stack of sheets together with long piano hinges. So after each inch you get another useful sheet. Won't work for threads except on the very front one -but scissors, rulers, etc. should fit nicely on the internal layers. Let you know how it goes.

I am going to hang one, probably 4x4. I don't have it yet, but definitely need it. It's one of those things that once you have them you wonder how you ever lived without it.

Exactly true! I started with 2 pieces of 2'x4' pieces, now I have 4 pieces one of which is over 6' long and about 30" tall. Of course, I have sewing machine repair stuff and long arm stuff and regular sewing stuff all crammed into the one room, so peg board helps my sanity a lot!

I know this has been around a while, but thought I would throw my 2 cents in. DSIL fixed me several pegboard pieces for my old sewing room and was able to take them down and hang them in my new sewing room. Since I am short, I hang my tools, scissors, etc., down low and using the pegboard shelf supports and some premade melamine shelving up high to increase the storage -- really love the combination. Interestingly -- I got the shelf supports at Home Depot and the shelves at Lowes. Go figure.

I have a 4 x 6 peg board. I am using it to organize/store rulers, misc tools, rotary cutters... It's a good size for me.

Airwick 156, I love your comments at the bottom. So true and so freeing!

I love peg board, in my old sewing room I had it all walls except my design wall, now I have it on two and there covered with everything.

I have pegboard all over my sewing room. The middle wall has it on both sides. One side has my embroidery and quilting threads and the other side has all my rulers, rotary cutters, etc. Don't know what I'd do if I didn't have my pegboards to store stuff and still be able to see what I have. Not much wall space is open. My PC is acting up so can't upload all my pegboard photos but you get the picture. I purchased the hooks from a online store outlet as they were cheaper as I needed over 500 hooks just for my quilting threads alone and about just as many if not more for my embroidery threads.

I don't, but seems a good idea.

Framed Peg Boards are great! A large one for my rulers and a smaller one for other notions-I'm a notion junkie!!
