For anyone who sews, a little or a lot, you know how agonizing it is tumbling through all your spools of thread just to find the right color. Well, this organizer lets you do that. You can see at a glance what colors you are getting low on and replace them before the next sewing task comes up. For a very fair price, this organizer is a good thing to add to your sewing supplies. The one downfall is that really, really small spools of thread (like those in a purse pack) tend to fall out as there are no spaces that actually fit them. Other than that, I'd give this item a 'thumbs up' !
