Busy Quilting Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Dory asked for a picture of my thread wall. Thought all of you might like to see. I organise my threads by colour - that how you I use them! So I have Bottomline, So Fine, Omni, Hemingworth , Glide, Invisfil, all mixed in together. My variegated threads are towards the top with the back up threads. I put my spare bobbins inside the cone of bottomline, ready for the next use. I use the cello thread covers from Superior to cover all the cones. My spools of threads are stored in airtight containers (50 to a container) and I have 6 of those. Every DMC embroidery threads are in thread folders in another larger box. I am a threadoholic and I know it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pam elab Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 I like your idea of turning some of he cones "upside down" to make more room. My SoFine and Superior threads fit side by side, but the Glide is wider and I have a hard time keeping it on the spindles. If I alternate like you did, it will give me more room.

Busy Quilting Posted January 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 The upside down cones are all my bottomline threads with partially wound bobbins sitting inside them. Some of the bottoms of the cones sit up on top of the others, when side by side as my FIL spaced the pegs at 2 3/4" apart. One of these days I might add up how much "shipping" is on these pegs. Cheaper to buy multiple cones than singles, and almost half price to get direct from the US than buy locally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MtnBarb Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Vicki, I've way more thread that fabric. When I began longarming, I hit Superior Thread's website and the MQS vendors pretty hard! Lyn, when I was organizing my threads, my husband was in the room with me. He made the comment "You must have at least a hundred dollars worth!" I looked him straight in the eye and said "OK, we can start from there!" Oh, so little do they know!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busy Quilting Posted January 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 My husband knows the worth of my thread, as he gave me all my spools and DMC For birthdays etc he would buy me all the colours in a range and then fit out an airtight box for them all to sit in. NOw that I am longarming it is a different matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyLake Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 It makes me happy looking at all that thread! My husband knows that all my thread and fabric is what keeps me happy. I don't ask for much else, so he doesn't say much either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitaR Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Love that wall Lyn.. I think my thread count is about as large as yours. That includes threads for piecing, and general sewing, some embroidery, long arming.. and prewound bobbins are in a long storage box. If my camera would work I'd take a pict.
