Tip and secret
Store your top five rolls of stabilizer in a handy place so they can be found easily. Keeping your supplies on hand makes embroidery tasks easier to accomplish.
Special care should be taken when storing embroidery hoops. Stand them in the grooved slots of the Embroidery Headquarters Hoop Stand to keep them out of harm’s way and within reach.
Storing your thread in an open thread rack makes selecting thread colors a simple task. Sort the thread by color and you’ll see at a glance when your supply of favorite shades runs low.
