The only time it’s good to trap your thread!

The only time it’s good to trap your thread!

by Annette Millard

As we talked about the 4 hints it’s time to throw your sewing threads out, here’s my favorite thing about Coats thread – the trap spool! The only time it’s good to trap your thread!!

2 Coats Dual Duty XP spools of thread o fabric

Coats Dual Duty XP thread spool come with a trap to keep the thread from raveling.

On the end of each spool, you’ll find a little slotted ‘trap’ to lock the end of your thread in before you store the spool or you can lift up the trap, wind the thread inside and snap it closed to secure the thread. You know that exasperating, knotted, wild mess that you call your thread box? Gone!

Sewing bliss at its best! Happy Sewing!

Such a great idea, as the thread ends flying around is always such a nuisance!

What a marvellous feature, I’ve never seen that before. I’m always just glad when there’s a notch to catch the end of the thread.
