One of the trickiest parts of quilting (besides choosing the fabric!) can be figuring out how to store your thread. Between bobbins, small spools, large cones, and specialty threads, it’s easy to end up with a messy jumble that wastes time and can even damage your thread.
In my latest video, I’m sharing my favorite space-saving, budget-friendly thread storage solutions, including everyday at-home setups and portable options for retreats, workshops, or sewing on vacation. From IKEA trays to Dollar Tree organizers to clever Amazon finds, these are products I’ve personally tested in my quilting life.
Watch the video here:
Highlights from the video:

– Go-to travel solutions like ArtBin thread boxes, bobbin clips, and silicone bobbin rings

Whether you’re quilting at home or packing for a class or retreat, you don’t need expensive storage to keep your threads neat, tidy, and ready to go.
