Crafty Idea: Thread Organizer

Here is a good idea to keep embroidery thread organized while also preventing it from tangling when working on a project:

Thread Organizer

• Cut two pieces of material about 12 by 12 inches. Sew seams 1/2 inch apart down length as shown.
• Cut whole packages of embroidery floss into manageable sewing lengths (most prefer it about 27 inches long).
• Lay strands together, fold in half, insert a hairpin at fold and with it thread the entire group of strands through a channel in the cloth. Remove hairpin, and floss is ready for sewing.
• To remove, pull out one loop at a time.
