Review on Sturdy Hardwood Thread Rack - Holds 60 Spools & Mini-King Size Cones For Sewing, Embroidery, Quilting & More! by Glenn Rodgers

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Dowels too thick to fit bobbins

I purchased the 120 spool rack to organize my spools of thread (mostly Gutermann 273 yd or 110 yd and Coats & Clark 500 yd or 250 yd) and bobbins. I had seen photos of people placing the bobbin on the dowel first, then the matching thread on top. Unfortunately the diameter of these dowels (which is nowhere in the listing description that I could find) is just a little too wide for my Bernina or Singer bobbins to fit. There are some accessories I've seen to help you mount your bobbin on top of your spool (or even a golf tee), but the dowels are too long for that, and get in the way. However, the dowels are NOT long enough to stack two spools on top of each other -- even short spools.My spools of thread do fit fine, although the Gutermann spools are tight on some of the dowels.I plan on mounting the rack to the wall, so I may add to this review once that task is complete. In the mean time, I'm looking for a second rack with dowels that are skinnier, for my bobbins.

Pros
  • Provides a professional appearance for sewing spaces
Cons
  • Could be difficult to store smaller spools or bobbins
