My Favorite Thread Storage Boxes
Why do I love my Sulky Slimline thread boxes? Let me count the ways:
- They hold 104 spools of thread!
- They’re translucent, so I can easily see what colors are inside.
- They’re skinny, so they fit in odd little spaces between my storage bins.
- They have handles, so they’re easy to pull from the shelves and easy to carry.
- They’re compact – no wasted space.
- The hinges come apart, making two trays of thread to place next to my machine – awesome!
- They holds the spool securely – I can even turn the trays upside down – but…
- They release the spools easily – just pull the end of the spool up and slide it off the pin.
- Did I mention they hold 104 spools of thread?
- I just found out they come sized for larger spools, too!

Ok so how do you suggest storing the big spools of thread? I have a ton of Sulky and Isacord embroidery thread and it never fits properly into containers like this.
September 19, 2012 |I keep my thread in drawers by type of thread: cotton or poly or silk, and by weight and ply. I like to have lots of bobbins, so I keep each bobbin with the spool by using Handi-Bobs to attach them together. Also use those pink plastic things around the bobbin thread to keep it from unraveling. Big DISLIKE for thread brands with a spool hole that is too big or small for my Handi-Bobs!
