How Do You Store Your Thread?
#41
Ikea has a great storage unit called "Alex" that works for threads and use the bottom drawer for stabilizes for the embroidery machines.

My DH got me an old cash register cabinet. It has all the drawers for different customers, it's got lots of little drawer compartments--like a cash register drawer. It holds a lot of thread, then on the bottom it has a good sized door that has an empty space that's where I store my scanner for my Janome 9000. He got me a huge old Singer sewing machine that I think was used to make hats and it sits on top.

Mine holds 100 spools of thread and is on a Lazy Susan. It is an octagon shape. I've had all the different thread holders out there and this one is the one I truly love. It works great!

I also use the Thread boxes by Art Bin just like cricket_iscute- sorted by colour and also by type of thread. I really like them because it's easy to see the colours, they fit together to stack and since I sometimes work in different rooms they are easy to move or take because each has a handle and they snap closed.

luvTooQuil, that is a great idea for the shoe bag over the door or on a wall! Everyone on this board is so clever...

My large spools are housed in clear over the door shoe racks by color groups.. ..
My piecing thread ( im a scrapper so i use any color at any given time) is kept in my sewing cabinet drawer..
my extras for piecing and specialty threads are in sterilte drawers in the walk in closet..

I don't have a ton of thread. I bought some shallow drawers at Michaels (they are called letterpress drawers) and keep my thread in two of them. One for neutrals and one for colors. For keeping matching thread and bobbins together, I use pipe cleaners.
