hornet Posted March 4, 2016 Share #1 Posted March 4, 2016 (edited) I used to store all my threads in an old fishing tackle box but got sick and tired of them getting jumbled and tangled so I thought of an alternative. I drilled holes ( at an angle) along the edge of some scrap timber. I lined some nails up with the holes and then placed my spools of thread on the nails and pulled the ends through the holes thus creating a dispenser of sorts. I have a few like this. I have collected quite a lot of 'antique' cotton and linen threads from antique and collectible shops. They are relatively cheap - apparently the spools are collectible - and, in my opinion, are often better quality than the modern stuff. Hope the idea helps someone who also suffers from tangled thread syndrome.

Bishophobbies Posted February 11, 2017 Share #2 Posted February 11, 2017 (edited) Hornet, That's a nice idea - I had a similar problem and ordered a sewing rack as pictured. I've found this to work out well for me. Edited February 11, 2017 by Bishophobbies thibaultron, hornet, Jack12477 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
