Could you take picture of the whole thing so we could copy your great idea ??

What a great idea. Thank you for sharing *4u

wonderful idea and very creative on your part. thanks for sharing.

Clever man

Great idea. Holds lots of colors and takes up little space.

That is just great, mind if I have my husband copy it.?

what a great idea!

This is fantastic! I'll have to make one for myself.

How inventive.

very clever hubby, I agree with the other ladies, He is a Keeper. How tall is your thread rack?
Thanks for sharing Debbie

Thanks for sharing, just showed my Husband.
Will let you know if I get one !!!
Hugs Yvonne

great job.. nice and large.. wow.

Very impressive, would your hubby consider making more he he

Shows that inventiveness is alive and well, at least amongst the BabyBoomers. roses for you both, M

I've looked at several of these online, but NOTHING as nice as what your hubby did. I agree, you should keep him.

Could you show the whole thread holder? Or maybe show how it stands/connects? I would love to try to make one for myself! Flowers for you!

Very cool! I think you should keep him ;o)

Not that I could make myself and was thinking along that line. Just have to figure out how to clamp to a plastic folding table or size of "stable" enough base?!?! *4U

joanie, all you need are the right size "C" clamps or small bar clamps. Available at any hardware store. Just macke sure they open wide enough to fit the table and rack base inside.

MACKE??????????? Don't know where that came from.

Great idea! Great husband!

GREAT idea... I wish mine were this handy in the work-shop.

Great idea and so much cheaper than store bought things that hold less spools. You see I'm still catching up on past projects!

A great ideal

Good on your DH, raels, I use my thread holders at the front of my machine, I find it works good and I don't have to keep leaning over the machine to change colors - lazy me!!! Hugs and a flower sweetie.

Super.I have two threadstands I made to hold serger cones,One for each emb. machine. The ones I made only hold three spools each. But when I'm doing something that uses more colors I put them next to each other on my table and sew from both. And what would this have cost you in a store???? I love DIY accessories.
