My DH made this stand for me..the reels of thread lay sideways so the thread comes off the reels straight and dont curlup and break..it works well on the smaller reels of metallic thread..Mostly works well..you need to put a spacer between the reels...an empty bobbin works well ..we used cut off pieces of plastic hose and an old knitting needle to hold them all on ..:-)Cheers Dianne

Great idea,what have you used at the top for the threads to go through? What about i close-up of the top part.

I like this. Nice DH. I was thinking something like this but with just pegs up n down to place approx 15 spools on. I love the idea of the knitting needle. *4U and DH

necessity, the mother of invention.....my machine has a spool holder for each way, but this is a great idea if you don't have that.;)

I have used a knitting needle, never thought of asking my husband to make such a great thing instead. Thank you for sharing this idea. Before long we will all be so well organised (I hope!) thanks to all the reel and spool stands you and others have been showing. Flower for you.

It looks great, well done. But please be careful that no threads hang loose & get caught in the fly/hand wheel.
