Subject: [HookedOnEmbroidery] Re: Thread storage
Pat, on 4th Feb you said "I'm ready to go shopping as I have mine on racks,
some of which are for small thread spools and the mini-con embroidery
threads are very precarious and often fall off!!".
I too had this problem until someone suggested (ages ago) that I use pieces
of drinking straw (I cut mine into 3 to give just that little extra length)
fitted over the "spike" on the rack will hold the spools. It works like a
charm. If the bases of the spools are wide I alternately turn them upside
down to make maximum use of the rack. HTH short term!
I like Sue's DH's solution because it keeps the spools dust free so I am
going to go and hunt down the UK equivalent of the materials and boxes he
used for Sue's system.
Thank you Sue and Sue's DH for this wonderful idea and for sharing with us.
Diana in the UK
