    That is a super idea, keeps the thread organized and clean. Doesn't get dusty sitting on a shelf or wall hanging shelf

    I use the little "mesh covers" that are made just for that purpose and it works just fine.

    Absolutely genius! I use similar plastic drawers but just stuff the thread into them. I've found glue guns to be handy for a number of things; will have to add one to my quilting room! Thanks!!!
