Apologies I have been missing for a few days. Not been seeing much but did sort out the scraps of machine embroidery stabiliser which were getting everywhere. I also tidied up the Isafil threads I have. All are now neat and tidy. I bought these threads from a business that stopped trading and while I had them sorted they had the tendency to unravel. The last picture was the most untidy and was the only one that I chopped lumps out of and was unable to save. Have I too much time on my hands I ask myself😂

Good for you for taking the time to organize. I have the time but it is used on embroidery sites instead . I use, Goody Ouchless Ponytailers - 42 count, Walmart # 261632 The price is about $2, on spools of thread and bobbins to avoid the unraveling problem. I was unable to add a link so you could see the item, but I must not know how, it was not accecpted.

Thanks for your reply. Most of this was done while stitching. I live in the UK so no Walmart and as I live in a rural bit of the UK not many large supermarkets either

I live in a small town and take it for granted that everyone has a supermarket with just short drive. I will admit that living here in the States has me spoiled.

You have done a good job on sorting them out but it looks as if you have used sticky tape to secure the threads. This could be a future problem I had a reel of embroidery thread given to me that had a sticky price tag on it and I had to unwind a lot of thread because it got sticky. Maybe use cling film lunch wrap instead.

I have used a surgical tape to hold these together not a sticky tape. Thanks for your concern

I love those threads, but they do tend to unravel. Like you I have mine sorted now and have solved that problem. Hugs

Jenne just because I tidied these up doesnt mean I have a tidy house. My sewing room is often hazardous to walk across due to my carefully keeping essentials there

OMG....I need you to come visit me.....what a great and tidious job you have done!!

Thanks and yes it would be good to come for a visit but in the better weather and when the covid situation improves

Those threads look so pretty and colorful. Looks to me like a great organization.
