My...Thanks for all the helpful suggestions, ladies. My wall space is just about non-existent, hence why I don't have any thread holders hanging on my walls - plus I don't want them to get dusty, faded or covered in cat hair. I'd like to have some holders for in the drawers (like Cathy suggested). I also found these suggestions on line. Check out: http://tinyurl.com/3fflgbk<br />and<br />http://tinyurl.com/3j5a7j6<br />Fabric folding is almost complete, and while time consuming, I can't believe how much less space my stash now takes up. Maybe I'll even have room for more fabric acquisitions:)Chatterbox Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15767017688036089387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4855777234305868053.post-15378544088333916142011-07-28T08:36:29.714-06:002011-07-28T08:36:29.714-06:00I wonder if you could fit a couple of shoe boxes i...I wonder if you could fit a couple of shoe boxes in the drawer to help keep them upright and sorted. :)Lee Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10733872088509481749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4855777234305868053.post-18952117249943245312011-07-28T07:27:08.500-06:002011-07-28T07:27:08.500-06:00Wonderfil Threads makes a plastic insert that fits...Wonderfil Threads makes a plastic insert that fits into the bottom of drawers to hold large cones upright. They work quite well and are reasonably priced.<br /><br />Your studio is coming together nicely. You must have worked like crazy after you left here yesterday.<br /><br />By the way, thanks for the help with the borders on that quilt. Still not sure which way I am going, but maybe tonight I can make a decision.Cathy Keevillhttp://www.pinefreckleblog.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4855777234305868053.post-32524178527522872862011-07-27T22:35:34.796-06:002011-07-27T22:35:34.796-06:00The first question that comes to mind about your t...The first question that comes to mind about your thread: why don't you use a thread rack on your wall? I don't think a thread rack would work in a drawer since the dowels are angled. An alternative would be easy to make. You need a 1" X 2" length of wood to fit the depth of your drawer. Drill holes for your dowels spaced appropriately apart to accomodate your thread. Cut pieces of 1/4" dowel and stick them in there with a little wood glue. Make as many of these as you can fit side by side in the drawer. You could attach them all by attaching a parallel piece of wood at the top and bottom. Voila, you made a drawer rack! I hate to say the W-word, but you need to free up that sauna before the cold weather returns.MoeWesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13316286980472111253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4855777234305868053.post-40632475552128961492011-07-27T11:48:22.530-06:002011-07-27T11:48:22.530-06:00Wow! looking good! actually looking like you don&#...Wow! looking good! actually looking like you don't have enough fabric - lol. I have recently moved, have a great space to sew in but haven't started organizing yet so am waiting to read comments on your site. It is fun revisiting all our stuff though isn't it?!Vicki Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13591246665480467311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4855777234305868053.post-5871821458032267372011-07-27T10:08:05.750-06:002011-07-27T10:08:05.750-06:00Large Thread I have two stands on a table top type...Large Thread I have two stands on a table top type. I have a cloth cover over them to keep dust and sun off them. Works well for me. Small one in drawers with brands having a box each. I have two sulky cases for rayons. I have an old pattern draw set with thread stands on top and top two drawers are thread in boxes, some large spools upright but these are the brands I do not like any more. Should consider selling them.Cathy Tommhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16469995723871449530noreply@blogger.com
