What do you do with your empty thread spools????
#121
I read the first 4 pages and didn't see a duplicate of what I do with them. I wind my binding up on them as I'm pressing it; then run a ribbon thru the hole and hang it around my neck as I'm sewing the binding on my quilt. It doesn't get tangled or in my way as I sew; I also only unwind a small bit at-a-time keeping the remainder secure with straight pin.

I save the wooden ones. The plastic ones I savae amd make a christmas garland out of them to hang on a tree or outside. I cover the spools with christas scraps using a glue stick. depending on the size of the spoole you can use up strips of fabric to cover.You all probably have small strips of fabric. I have used ribbon to string them with but I am sure you could use other things. Try using a bamboo skeeper to push the ribbon thru or thread ribbon with long needle. You can even tie bows on them.
