Hey Terry,
I also think you are smart. Try something inexpensive and see if your like
it and try it before attempting a larger project. A suggestion I make, what
ever project you do, Place all your things you are working on for that
project, like the tree, if that, and place it one box that you can close.
Mark the box somehow mark the box. The reason you can keep all the items
together and work on it as you go along. Hope you understand my suggestion

I surely enjoyed the chat, too!
I think I might try the tree, but have so many other crafts, in my life,
that I do not want to get hooked on this. I have large stubby fingers and
do not think I could work with such small items.

Terry K.,
What a fantastic chat tonight! I am pretty sure that you have corrupted many
of us.

I do have thread racks that I got when I got the embroidery machine and I
actually got 2 more as they were on sale. They are wooden and sit on a
table or can be hung on a wall. They hold 60 spools. I also have gotten
some plastic containers to hold thread. I have most of my threads in the
plastic cases. I prefer the plastic case and just need to figure a good way
of sorting them in the case. The cases that I got have a latch that hooks
well closed. Now the case is see thru[but I don't see anything] and has 24
divided sections spaced 1 1/2" wide by a little more then 2" long. What is
nice about these cases are it has a handle and you flip it over and it has
another latched down area and holds 24 spools on each side. The threads lie
flat. Embroidery thread comes on spools, some holding like 1100 yards, 550
yards 400 yards, down to 200 yards. The 1100 yards spools fit snuggly and
the others have plenty of room. The case measures maybe 14"long,by 9" wide
and 3" deep.
The wooden racks have wooden pegs to hold the spools and most threads will
work with the pegs, but the thread that I use to sew will not fit[I don't
think] as I use Meltzer[not sure if I spelt that right], but maybe they
will.
Sulky of America has the wooden racks on sale half off today regular price
$29.99 with half off.
I purchased the thread boxes on EBay for like $10 yeach.

Ramona, this is a good suggestion. I too am looking for good ways to keep
thread organized.
Do those of you who sew use some type of thread rack, shelf or the like?
I think I would like to find something that would hang on the wall. I could
line up the threads on it and easily get them off.
Do any of you have suggestions?

joyce, that sounds very exciting! You might try putting your spools of
thread in tiny plastic bags or even envelopes and placing color labels on
the outside.
