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

Very simple and very nice solution. Thanks for showing. Gives me (DH) some ideas... ;c)

Fantastic idea, you are lucky to get your husband to make this for you.

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

great idea mettalic threads give you always alot of trouble,thanks for sharing

How clever your hubby is...a keeper for sure. Flower to you both.

Great idea, well done from your DH ** for both of you

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.

I love mechanical minds... :-) Nice set up!

Very nice My DH has got a printed copy in his hands. Now if I can just explain it to him LOL. Oh well Maybe, maybe. I know my son-n-law will get it. Thanks dear &a* 4U & your hubby

Very neat idea bet lots will be adopting this idea!!Thanks for shareing and flowers to you

Very innovative hubby. Roses for both of you, M

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.;)

dianne, thank you for sharing this - I like it and I am showing this to my DH, too! *4U

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

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

Another great idea! Your hubby is a keeper fer sure.
