Juanita's Tip on Keeping Track of Colors

Use a Clothes Pin to Assist Your Memory

By , About.com Guide

Juanita explains how she keeps track of floss colors when shades are close to each other. She uses a bag-based floss storage system.

She writes:
Right now I am working on a piece that has 90 colors and some of the colors are so close in shades to other colors. I put a pinch type clothes pin on the plastic bag holding the color I am using. Now when I am finished with the floss, I have no trouble finding the right bag for the floss.
