Might not look the most professional but it really works. I was having trouble with metallic thread and small reels of embroidery thread getting knotted and twisted. I explained to DH what I needed and he came up with this. He has put a weight in the bottom to it cannot pull over and I can have it a distance from my machine.

I think it looks great - and it does look professional! Home remedies often turn out to be the best solutions.
Looks good to me. I have friends who put their metallic thread on a thread stand and place it on the floor. It works for them.

They say that "Necessity is the Mother of Invention" which is an old saying from hundreds of years ago - it means "Difficult situations inspire ingenious solutions."

That is a great solution Sarah - and I'm glad you can put it to such good use. Love and blessings Chris
