I'm the type of quilter that needs things to be a little bit organized before starting on a project. So as the holidays have added to the "putting things away" mode, I've been trying to make the most of my time and space for this new set up.
I first went to JoAnn's looking for the large thread holder to organize the cones used for this machine. They had none. But on a recent trip to a local Outlet store I came across something in their stationery department that I like better than the cone thread holder.
I'm sure this wire basket is to hold files, but I loved the thought of using it for thread. And you know what they say about location?
PERFECT!
Happy Quilting!

Is that a long arm quilt machine? I am not very experienced but I have a new Janome now which should help as my old machine was too frustrating to get anything done. I can't afford/won't pay the long arm services so I will be doing my own quilting....LOL! We'll see how that works out! Good luck with your new machine and I love the wire hanging caddy! Perfect!
Perfect location. I love the look of it.
Looks good! I have that same machine, although mine is the Babylock brand...they are identical except for the label. Even the manuals are identical. Anyway...mine is in a different room from my sewing room because my sewing room is windowless. When I got the new machine, I decided to give it a window seat in my office. Little by little I’ve added all the usual tools to that space so it’s like having a second small sewing room just for quilting. I used the peg thread holders, but I like your basket. Very efficient, and it looks good.
Happy New Year. Looks like you are ready to start the new year with #CreativeGoodness. I like the way you are organized and your machine just seems to be calling your name. Enjoy.
That's perfect and I like it better than the regular thread holders!! I'm the same way Jocelyn, everything has to be in place before I can really start. LOVE your quilt machine!!!
I love to re-purpose things. That basket probably works better than the stand.
A large metal freezer basket from the older freezers works too but you have to hunt the thrift and yard sales to find one lol.
