PAKO Floss Organizer 11 1 Inch Review

OMG I love this thread organizer. Load the thread and simply lay on the thread for cross stitch or embroidery. It takes a bit to set up, but once your setup changes colors, it's very easy. Highly recommended.

Love it. I do quite a bit of cross stitching and most of my projects are not small. The only thing I would do differently is put space for the thread number so if I need to add more I don't have to go through the list of threads looking for a character.

It made my thread organized so well. I hesitated to pay "that much". These days when it seems like anything can be bought at the dollar store, it seemed expensive, but it was worth it. I haven't used the card system in it yet, but it will be good if I do.

This is my third organizer and I highly recommend it. I use one for every big project and usually have 2 or 3 jobs at a time. I usually print out the key and tape or tape it to the guide which then slides under the plastic. They're easy to reuse after I've completed a project and moved on to a new one.

This is a really valuable "tool" for cross stitch and embroidery. I'm following the advice of a sewing colleague who suggested putting the organizer in a box lined with a large piece of felt (same width as the organizer but lots of felt on either side) so the threads can be laid out on the felt and then rolled up. on each side to keep things neat and tangle-free. The price is a bit steep for what you get, but we're paying for the convenience!

I've been sewing cross stitch for 20 years and finally I couldn't resist and bought this. What have I been waiting for?!?! That's incredible! Works great - keeps floss and needles clean and compact. I'm scaring with a 100 color fractal piece and may order a second one so all my threads are easily accessible. While not intentional, the plastic it comes in is actually a decent "suitcase" to take with you. I fold the thread behind the organizer, then close the plastic and go.

I bought two Pako thread organizers for an 89 color cross stitch project. I'm really pleased with the ability to keep thread handy, pull a layer of thread from the sorter, and not fiddle with pockets or bobbins while sewing. I cut the thread into the lengths I want to work with and pin them onto the pins. I ordered stickers with thread numbers on the spools and stuck them on the boxes to identify the colors, not the symbols. I have now loaded five of these organizers for 3 different projects.

Ideal for use on larger projects. I like to organize my cross stitch testers while I work on them and this helps make organizing threads from a pre-made kit much easier! I personally don't like having to have all the little code for which flows belong to which places in the design, but doing it once per project makes it a lot faster! I simply copy the extra side of the code key, then cut it out and double glue it onto the rail. This is obviously a tedious way of tagging, but it works for me. I…
