Step 10Create elastic loops for thread spools.
Thread spools come in many thicknesses. Using elastic for loops allows for flexibility in the thread spools that can be stored. They are also very easy to make.
Take a length of elastic. Don't cut it at this stage as we don't know how much we need yet. Howeverto avoid a join the length should be at least twice the width of our organizer.
Tuck in the raw edge and place it at the desired point on our organizer background. Pin, baste and machine stitch securely in place.
Use a thread spool to measure the length of our loop and pin the elastic to the background. The elastic should have some tension it it and not be slack at all. Baste and machine stitch at the point where it is pinned. Repeat this as many times as needed or until you have reached the other side of the organizer.
Make different sized loops by measuring around different spools. When finishing off at the other end tuck the raw edge in before pinning and sewing.
