Thread Dispenser/ Sewing Case 2.0

Class Description

You’ll have no more tangled jumbles of thread when you make and use these handy thread cases.

Special slots in each pocket enable you to easily thread a needle without removing the spools from their pockets and keep everything as neat as a pin.

Continue to perfect your skills of quilting fabric with Soft and Stable, attaching zippers, sewing with vinyl, and binding edges.

Then add some new skills: Learn to sew with ultra suede, the secret ingredient to keeping your threads in place. Make a stretchy loop to close the case while allowing for expansion as it fills.

These cases are perfect for travel and can hold threads, sewing supplies, and more!
