Does anyone in the US know where we can buy stretchy netting? My thread could sure use some...lol

They sell it at Ebay. I make my own out old t-shirts.***

What I have done in the past, is... gone to a florist, around a holiday, and asked them for the netting that protect the flowers. They slip them off before making an arrangement, and throw them out. Any florist will give them to you. That is what I use for my threads. So I if you are into recycling, this is a nice recycling idea. I hope that if you try this, that it works out for you all! ;) * to you all!

I absolutely will give it a try...thank you.

I learned a little trick last week, and was surprised that it worked. In place of the netting to hold my thread while storing I cut a piece of the Glad Press and Seal warp for the freezer, wrapped this around my thread spool and it holds my thread ends from getting tangled. I use a lot of the large spools of thread, so this worked very nice.

Thanks for your suggestion.

I got some last week at WalMart.

My Wal Mart does not carry anything but netting for weddings and such.

I got some at JoAnnes where they sell their sewing machines. I think it is actually a seperate entity than the store itself, but it is the Huskvarna Viking area. I'll have to check ebay though, that is a good idea...
