Collapsible Thread Catcher

[@PatriciaMaund]

You have just made my day! I've been hunting all over for a pattern on how to do this. You have my triple vote of approval and appreciation for this video. There are a couple of other videos about this, but they weren't quite as helpful as yours. I'm & going to have to get a Pringles tube & a used cereal box & start making these guys as gifts for my quilting friends. Thank you so much. Those of us who DIY really appreciate the time it takes to do these videos 😉👍 Sewing happy, Patty 🧓😂

[@rhondao3985]

The Pringles was a bonus! I’m going to make some in advance and give as gifts for all my crafty friends. You spoke slower and softly which was refreshing. While I played the videoover and over again I was actually making it WITH you. I enjoyed it. I can get 12 out of a Pringles can. I’m recycling cereal boxes, Pringle cans & old fabrics! THANK YOU for sharing!!

[@AngiePadilla]

So glad you enjoy this. They are fun to make!

[@moiraann6349]

we are a group of like minded woman ,i saw this tutorial and spent the day showing all our group how to make this wonderful collapsible thread catcher,we all loved making it Big thank you

[@Vera-y8m]

Hi Angie, I have lost count of the videos I've watched this morning of different people making this thread catcher..... each one making it look more of a faff than the last! Thank you for helping me to get it at last. I'm happy to subscribe to your channel as I hope to see more of your videos. God bless❤

[@cherylvalentine3746]

THIS has got to be one of the most ingenious things I've ever seen!! Not to mention ADORABLE!! It just seems like it would take ""forever""..... but LOVE!!!!!

[@raisdbywolvz]

I was stuck in all my quilting projects, so I made this as a pallette cleanser. It went together in an evening and is so cute! And it kick-started my quilting mojo. Thank you for posting this!

[@MrsTwig56]

This is cute. Being a sewer for 30 some odd years, with lots of scrap material. Made a Cow Pie with my scraps. Great idea to use these for. Thanks for sharing your video.

[@bpollard61]

Rather than cutting a can, i used the inner core of a ribbon spool! It's already thick and cut precisely. I cut the cardboard round for the base out of the top/bottom of the spool as well. 😉 recycle, re-use! ♻️

[@lovet210]

I am a crocheter and a beginner knitter. I love to see other people's creativity, and this is just amazing!! Honestly, how cute and concise is that!

[@ADayInTheLifeofLori]

I just watched your video about how to finish a paper piecing project, and then this video. You are a natural teacher and made everything understandable. Pace was just right, and I am looking forward to following you as a new subscriber!

[@bethrogers5656]

I just saw this, what a terrific idea! You explained it so clearly and your voice is just so soothing, thank you!

[@Saucyakld]

We made those last Xmas and filled them with goodies to give away at the quilt club. They were so well received and mine goes everywhere with me and my chicken pin holder. Both much admired. The chicken is made out of two log cabin blocks, so cute too

[@reganjesurun5514]

This whole video I was thinking "Hmm this is OK" and then you twisted it closed and now I need to make 500. SO CUTE!!

[@atelieralumine]

I thought the exact same ! Great idea !

[@mividalocastudio9366]

Regan Jesurun Lmao 😂 👍🏼

[@jenniferborchardt]

I have made several of these and refer back to your video every single time. Love them as gifts for sewing friends, and can never have too many myself!

[@AngiePadilla]

They really are fun, aren't they?

[@lynnebash3891]

This is so wonderful. I don't sew much but I do make beaded jewelry and for some time have wanted a small container like this to hang on the side of my work table. Thank you so much for answering a prayer.

[@rusisiganporia7293]

Lynne Bas

[@autumngriffon7644]

Just wanted to say This is so clever! My Mother in law travels often and is a cross stitcher.. This is going to make a perfect Christmas gift... I found you video to be soothing and easy to follow...!

[@werelemur1138]

You are the Bob Ross of threadcatchers.

[@sandyhumissouri5131]

I like that you used materials on hand... plastic from milk jug, cardboard from cereal box. Very clear tutorial!

[@kimtownsend838]

I have asked someone who eats pringles to save me their tube. Also if your not great with hot glue you can use a little bit of masking or sellotape to keep the plastic inside the pringles ring. Another tip is to use a few wonder clips or pins to keep it in place while you sew the ring in. Hope that answers some of the questions I read.😊 I love this video, a newbie to sewing but I have got all my bits cut out and am ready to take it to my craft night tomorrow to do the hand sewing whilst I'm there. I know it's been 9 years since this was made but I just came across it and the instructions are clear, no babbling, easy to follow and to copy. Thank you for keeping this video up and for sharing. I love it Kim UK ❤

[@AngiePadilla]

Thank you for your great suggestions!

[@kimtownsend838]

@Angie Padilla your welcome, I always read the comments if I have a question, before asking and there were a few, the thing is people don't watch the video properly or a communication gap in different languages, I could hear perfectly well. But on other videos when there's an accent I just flip on the subtitles if I can't hear that bit. I have got it all ready to sew , must of watched the video at least 8 times lol 😁 hope you are well and may come back to make more videos at some point. Thank you 💗

[@patg8932]

I love that this is mostly sewn by hand, love it when I can relax and sew on my comfy couch. Can't wait to empty my can of Pringles now. Just finished making it, I love it so much more than the triangle one I made a few years ago.

[@judyabernathy9405]

This is a great alternative to other thread catchers I've made and used. I like that this one closes up completely when finished using it and takes up less space in a travel kit. I do English Paper Piecing while travelling which generates a LOT of thread snippets. Nothing worse than those snippets all over your car and pants. It empties easily, too. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@sianharris2984]

Angie, I took this vid to my craft group, giving them your link. I have just received the 3rd request to pass the link to a craft group. They are mad for them! We also love your calm, gentle delivery. Thank you.

[@AngiePadilla]

Thanks! Yes, this is a really fun project. I've made tons for little gifts. It's a great stocking stuffer!

[@SuchaCaligrrl]

This would be great to make out of a mason jar lid (the 2 pc lid tops) i think it would last longer. Great idea, thank you.

[@willowhilldesigns7]

So clever! I will make one for my granddaughter who loves to look for little "treasures" in my studio, such as beads, buttons, pieces of velvet, etc. You could make a larger one from Quaker oatmeal or a bread crumbs container. Thank you for sharing Angie!

[@EmunahCreative]

Or a 2 litre soda bottle or embroidery hoop!

[@debrachewning1311]

I did use the Quaker Oatmeal container for the steel cut oats. Fabric cut 13" x 11". Came out 4" diameter and 5" tall.

[@lindaworachek5905]

Thank you so much! I use one of these in each of my projects. This is a great tutorial. You are a great teacher.

[@AngiePadilla]

Thank you so much!

[@TheBusybee45]

I love this, its great for the ones who cross stitch and take projects on the road. Thanks for the tutorial

[@csventura6607]

i love love LOVE this idea. making one for every crafty person i know!

[@FabShabbyRose]

Loved this video and I can't wait to make a few for my stitchy friends! Thank you for sharing and making it understandable with your step by step instructions.

[@sandrapedder8188]

Really enjoyed this tutorial. The end product was so attractive I felt it could also be a tree decoration, well done.

[@barbaracoulsonstamm4653]

The tutorials keep getting better and better..

[@leeolivares7974]

Thank you so much for your time in making this! So clever, I have made so many for my friends. Be well and stay safe

[@pennyclark1524]

That is so cute and has so much potential for other uses. Thank You.

[@cdayperry2701]

Was gifted one of these today, 4/1/2023 and want to make one myself. These are clever, portable and practical. TY

[@AngiePadilla]

They sure are fun. I like to make them as stocking stuffers, too!

[@Sewmena]

This is a great idea. Thank-you for coming up with this idea. I am going to do one right away.

[@deborahmckee2850]

Your voice is very calming !! Can’t wait to try this project !!

[@farmgirldebbie2766]

What a cute idea. Had to share on FarmgirlsCreations' Facebook page. Love ideas like this that re-purpose used items we normally toss. Thanks!

[@suzanne1080]

That is just the coolest thread Cather ever. I am making this one.

[@betteannslivka4947]

Love it! And thank you for skipping the cutting process and for speeding up the stitching. We all should know how to cut cardboard by now and it gets so tedious watching all the detail on other videos. So cool! I can't wait to make these.

[@zster6318]

Great video even if it is 5 years later that I discovered it. Will be making some for gifts to my quilt friends!

[@janettemorrison3791]

What a lovely little bin x

[@dreamymm1970]

Well this is a brilliant idea. Will make many... even for the car as is so handy when travelling. Thanks for sharing x

[@dianadivadiamond]

That's such a fantastic idea. Never heard of it before but it's very innovative. Thanks for sharing. Love it. May just try it.

[@lorrainecrance5056]

WOW!, I am amazed what you made for scraps of threads! I of course want one NOW...

[@barbzingz]

That is the neatest thing ever! Thank you so much for showing us! I'm going to make some of these for Christmas gifts. (And one for myself, of course)

[@charmainewolfe8303]

Such a great idea! And your voice is so relaxing! Thank you .

[@CanaryCaia]

I would do it bigger and with some way to keep it attached to the machine or to the working table. And the same collapsible bag will be useful around the house for multiple uses. I love it!

[@garyholzhaus8574]

Really enjoyed your video. I made one out of the pringles can but then I took one of my old plastic 4" embroidery hoops and it really works great. It is a little bigger which is great....Thanks for sharing.

[@AngiePadilla]

That's a great idea with the embroidery hoop. Especially if you want it to use for something different than a thread catcher. Like a safe place in which to carry jewelry while traveling. Thank you for sharing.

[@TheMadisonMachine]

Wow, this is really neat. I love the geometry of the finished product.

[@momgrandma5496]

Angie, I enjoy watching your videos. Your projects are clever and your voice is calming. Thanks : )

[@AngiePadilla]

Thank you. You're very kind. Glad you enjoy the projects.

[@lookinaround8407]

I absolutely LOVE this! So cute! Small enough to fit right at my sewing machine or take with me to a sewing circle. Thank you!

[@Carolyn1952Hoxton]

this is adorable, I haven't ever seen anything like this, thanks so much.

[@elaine58100]

Great idea! This was lovely & relaxing to watch. Thank you :)

[@TheOldladyB]

What a fantastic idea. I have a big one but would use this more. Love it. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@anniesmith6860]

I made a thread catcher before, not near as cute as this one, can't wait to make one- looks like it will be fun thank for shariing!!

[@suzannehanlon2941]

That is an adorable little project!

[@isabelgonzales7841]

I like it for my beads, especially any project I'm currently working with and need to take it with me on the road. Whatever, made you think of it. I usually just drop it on a cup at my sewing machine. Thanks for sharing!

[@Yadziga]

Very ingenous great for on the go snips of embroidery, crocheting etc,Thank You

[@margycraig4318]

Watching this and seeing the end result was very relaxing!! This would make a great little gift holder... say for a pair of earings or little trinket? Perhaps for a fellow sewer. Whatever the use, I am going to make some of these for my friends. I know they would be touched to receive such a lovely and useful item for the sewing room. thank you Angie.

[@MrsMTMomma]

very handy and innovative! I can think of so many things to keep in one of these! As others have said, it s a great gift idea as well.!! Thanks for sharing and for the well done tutorial

[@tiffanyanderson333]

Love this! I had to make one. I made 2 at the same time. One to keep and one to give. One fits just fine when twisted (giving that one) and the other not so much! (Keeping) Voice was very soft but great tutorial! Thanks for sharing.

[@paulettemcwaters8557]

I used a juice can and made a smaller one, that fits in my embroidery case. So nice, that way i don't scatter little pieces of trimmed thread wherever i am working.

[@moonlitedaze5688]

You are a great instructor, thank you! Love this cute and practical project!

[@kathleenmayhorne3183]

This is such a neat clever idea. Congratulations for thinking it up.

[@AngiePadilla]

So glad you like it. Can hold other small items... jewelry, buttons, etc.

[@LoveSmoothJazz]

Thank you for recording this. I've seen written instructions on this but it just didn't click with my old brain. I will be making one of these for sure to keep while traveling & sewing!

[@junegregory1481]

June Gregory ......... Beats picking all the pieces up off the floor. Great Idea! so portable too. Thank You.

[@krishnathapa9745]

Hi, thank you very much for this, beautiful thread catcher, it was so useful for me as I do lots of needle work, thanks once again

[@artiejohnson703]

This is so cute. Can’t wait to make one for myself.

[@robincrean]

Adorable! Love this idea & quick project. Thank you for sharing!

[@bronwynblackburn1435]

making them now. I am using a vinyl tile for my piece of plastic reinforcement. it comes as 12inch square and has the advantage of being adhesive. All you have to do is peel the paper away as you stick it to the inner circumference of your half inch ring!

[@malumesa]

Loved it!! It could be used for so many other things. Thank you for sharing.

[@rosemaryjack4037]

Great idea, I will be making one soon, and thank you for awesome tutorial.

[@sherrywilson44]

That is so cute and creative! I haven't seen anything like it, thanks so much!

[@tereseryan2067]

A very good tutorial Angie, thank you for sharing.

[@FiberBabble]

Another clever idea from your site, Angie! I'm looking forward to making a few of these for myself and for gifts.

[@heatherkrasey508]

That is ridiculously cute. Thanks for sharing.

[@FiberBabble]

I have collected the containers and I think I'll start working on a dozen of these for a quilt retreat in May....

[@heatherkrasey508]

I don't buy pringles so I'm trying to think of another product I can use...

[@FiberBabble]

The dollar store has tootsie rolls in (shorter) tubes like that - there's a slot in the top so they can be used as a bank. My mom puts them in our stockings every Christmas morning. I've been saving them because I like little containers. Now I want to come up with a neat way to cut the cardboard. Neat as in smooth and not messy - not neat as in _cool_ !!

[@heatherkrasey508]

Thanks.

[@lisamalterud]

what a great project : ) your voice is so soothing.

[@maggieziehl9290]

I have tape plastic rings which I have been wanting to use, this is a perfect gift.

[@lizreynolds4554]

This is so clever, and creative. I really like it. I need to make one. Thank you for sharing this with us.😊❤

[@rosemaryladinsky533]

Very clever and looks like fun to make.

[@lindaworachek5905]

Thank you so much. This was very well explained, and demonstrated!

Thank you so very much for a clear and well paced tutorial. Am going to sort through my fabric stash now. :-D

[@greenapplie]

Wonderful, and very clever. Thank you for your tutorial.

[@shannondawn44]

Great idea . It will be a lot cuter then the plastic baggie that I'm using now . Thanks for sharing this :)

[@pamfrank3962]

Thank you for sharing this wonderful tutorial

[@gracechakravarty4889]

What a beautiful idea!

[@luciamcgill63]

This is a super idea. Thanks for sharing. I'm definitely going to make one for traveling

[@margycraig4318]

That's a great idea Lucia. What would you use it for when travelling? I travel a lot and anything that helps with that is always appreciated. Thank you Lucia.

[@luciamcgill63]

I go to a lot of sewing retreats and have to pack sewing machine etc. This would be a great little space saver to tuck in somewhere and also be great if your traveling and doing hand work ☺

[@patriciabrown7102]

Thank you so much for this.It will make an awesome gift for my craft maker's.

[@susiepudwill5582]

This is still the best video to make these. Time for new ones 👍😉

[@jenjen7594]

So clever! I will have to make one for each of my friends in our bead group. Thanks for the great instructional video :}

[@LauraBellini]

I love this tutorial, thank you so much for sharing! I'm thinking this would make a great tissue holder too! I hate when I put my mittened hand inside my pocket and all my nice clean tissues come flying out all over the place. Why waste money on prepacked tissues if I can do it myself?

[@dianenickerson4744]

Just made this....love it! Thank you !!

[@wafiyyanajeeb8778]

fantastic! Both pretty & useful too.
