Len's Time-Saving Tip

By Connie G. Barwick, About.com

Len shares her favorite time saving tip. She writes, "I put all my skeins of thread in individual 4"x6" plastic bags. After I sew one color, I place the needle with the remaining thread through the bag, ready for the next use. I leave the thread with the number showing. this involves a number of needles. the project I doing now uses 43 colors."
