Welcome! Well, if you are familiar with my Organizing methods,
you already know I organize my fabrics my color.
The same rule applies to my threads:
Long-Arm Spool Storage:
We found this shelf in a thrift store years ago.
Applique Thread:
I still need to get some bobbin covers as
I always have strands of thread handing out...
Perle Cotton for wool projects:
I use an embroidery case for these.

And finally....
Thread for Piecing:
I typically use a light lavender or grey thread when piecing.
Black with black and white with white.
These spools are kept handy in a jar in my: Counter Tool Storage Spinner
And don't forget, as shown in this previous post: Extra Thread is for the birds!
Happy Sunday!
I am partial to grey thread for piecing as well.
ReplyDeleteI just got all my thread sorted...and I'm so happy with the result! I enjoyed seeing all your rainbows. (http://fabricengineer.blogspot.com/2013/09/thread-sorter.html)
ReplyDeleteYou'll love it all sorted. And yah...the grey thread just makes everything so simple.
ReplyDeleteI seem to be quickly accumulating thread since I started actually quilting tops instead of just piecing them... thanks for your great storage ideas!

Love how the fabric color go together... plus they look amazing!
Love your colorful organization! It's very appealing to the eye. I simply have my threads in a plastic box from the store. It works, but isn't pretty at all.
ReplyDeletePopping over from Show & Tell Tuesday!
I'm dying over your rainbow organization here. Brilliant.
