Bev explains how she stores her floss. She writes, "Years ago, I found an old standing card-file (out of wood) with small drawers, I put my carded embroidery thread numerically in each drawer and on the outside, I put the numbers of the floss. This makes it very quick and easy to locate the thread I need."
