Before: After: I had originally used these pretty mother-of-pearl rings to try to keep the skeins neat, but it never worked well; I think size 5 and 3 pearl cotton was just too thick. This idea (did I get it from Wild Olive? Pinterest? Who knows?) works much better; on one end of the stick I wrote the size of the thread, and on the other the color. I started with a bag of 75 sticks, and I only have seven left -- that's a lot of thread! What do I do with all these rings, now? Jewelry is an...

We don’t know about you, but how frustrating does it get when your embroidery thread gets all tangled and knotted, you loose the colour number and they all get mixed in together? It can be very annoyi

Embroidery floss is one of those supplies that seems to sneak up on you. I did for me. I'd buy a couple of skeins for a project here, then a half-dozen for another project there.

You may have faced this dilemma - whether to use paper or plastic embroidery floss cards. Paper cards are good because you can write the floss number on them, but they don't wear well and need replacing frequently. Plastic cards last forever (literally) but it is next to impossible to write on them. Or if you are lucky enough to find a pen that marks the plastic without running, it looks something like in the picture below (A is for 'Anchor' as I also have Cosmo and a small amount of DMC in...

Here's a quick peek at how I store and organize my embroidery thread. I love my storage system!

This is a drawer where I keep some of my embroidery floss. I couldn't fit all of it in there.

In the weeks leading up to QuiltCon (yes, I’m still talking about it), the Instagram hashtag #quiltconprep made it easy to see what others were doing to get ready for the big event. During th…
