Bonnie in Ok Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Wondering how others store there quiltazoid when they aren't using it. Mine is just proped up against the wall but looking for a better solution. Don't really want ot put it far from the machine because I take it on and off to often. Any ideas?

Quilting Heidi Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Bonnie I used to keep mine in a under the bed storage container and kept it under the machine. Now I have a dresser and after I got it cleaned out I now have room for all my quiltazoid stuff and it is right there next to my machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Sparrow Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Can't wait to see some pics on this post. I've been wondering what I'll do with it's when not in use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witha'K'quilting Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Hi bonnie, I have all the gears and smaller parts in a tub on the ground next to my machine. The base unit lives on the side of my 14 foot table. Not the best solution...but it works for me. The long board adapter rests on the floor too propped up against the wall. My templates are kept in a closet on a low shelf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judy Ingram Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Bonnie, I have an old jelly cupboard is my studio. The QZ rests on the bottom shelf when it's not on the machine. The smaller parts and gears are stored in a Rubbermaid container on the same shelf. My templates are stacked in a drawer in a little 3-drawer chest. I don't have any long boards--yet.

cjtinkle Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 I bought a kitchen butcher-block cabinet to use as a cutting table in my "studio" (ahem)! I keep my Quiltazoid inside the cabinets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borderline Quilter Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 I keep my Quiltazoid system in this leather (type) storage container...there are lots of these types of boxes with lid for sale at the moment in the UK, the upfront base stands behind....the gears, handle and scews etc are in the cookie box...there are 6 boards (CH, feathers etc) inside the front of the box and my RnS boards stand to the side as you see! Of course this is just the start of my collection....lol... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CindyT Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 I keep the templates in a plastic milk crate and the gears and other "parts" in a long storage container that's also long enough to fit the QZ base unit it, but it rarely gets put in there because I use it too often so the base unit sits on the shelf my DH built under my long arm. The milk crate works great for the boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shirleyl Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 I bought a dresser from Ikea for about $70 or $80. I just measured it and measured the drawers until I found the right dresser. The dresser sits under my Milli and I have hooks on one side for my base extender and hooks on the other side for my Crosshatch rulers. For what it cost I wanted it protected from the dogs and men in my life. He would take it apart because he needed a piece for something, so with it hidden from view he don't see the pieces. He would say oh you did need that huh!! Shirley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 63 and have been there/done that with the "hots and colds". I still get the "hots' sometimes, but not often. I still take a personal fan with me to our sewing days, as some of the ladies (older than me yet) are cold and crank up the thermostat. I guess those hormones keep up swinging from one extreme to the other. :D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
