Connie’s thread rack – Sewing room guest post
By Serena Nabeta | March 17, 2008
This is one of several sewing room guest posts I’ll be posting in the next couple of weeks. If you would like to have some ideas and photos from your sewing room posted, just email me (info @ embtreasures.com – remove spaces).
Connie is a clever quilter and embroiderer from New York and created this wonderful thread rack that I just loved and thought was so unique!
She received a gift from a friend that happened to be wrapped in a small crate. She found two more creates and glued them together to create the thread holder that sits on the table behind her embroidery machine.
With two yardsticks, she formed the uprights and thread guide at the top. In the top yardstick, she screwed 18 small eye hooks, 1 1/2″ apart. The hooks guide the thread to the machine and keep the threads from getting tangled up with each other.
She can have all her colors threaded through the hooks and ready to go! It saves so much time!
Thanks for sharing your thread rack with us, Connie! What a fantastic and useful tool to keep in your sewing room!
