Do you get frustrated rummaging through tangled bobbins and mismatched threads when you are ready to start a sewing project? It’s so easy for those bobbins to unravel and end up in a big thread mess when they are kept loose in a pot or drawer and it can end up leading to a lot of wasted and unused thread.

Our Patterntrace spoolpods are a handy little product that can get you organised with neat and tidy threads quickly and easily!

See how useful they can be in my video below and read on for more tips and inspiration!

Why You’ll Love the Spoolpod

The Spoolpod is made from a soft, flexible silicone that snugly holds 10 thread reels and their matching bobbins. It measures 1.8cm x 7.7cm, so it’s compact enough to fit neatly in your sewing drawer, shelf, or out on display in your sewing area. It can also stretch a little, meaning most common thread brands—like Gutermann, Mettler, or Aurifil—fit perfectly. No more guessing if your reel will stay put; just pop it in and go!

It’s really useful to be able to see everything at a glance and having everything in plain sight makes you much more likely to use up those leftover bobbins instead of buying new thread unnecessarily.

Match Your Threads with Ease

One of the greatest perks is being able to store your thread reel and its matching bobbin side by side. Picture this: you finish a project, wind a bobbin, and there’s still a bit left. Instead of throwing it into a box where it’ll unravel (or worse, get lost), you can nestle the bobbin right alongside its reel in the Spoolpod. The next time you need that exact colour, it’s right there—no more scrambling to figure out which bobbin matches which reel.

But what if you have a bunch of bobbins without reels? Simply group them together in a Spoolpod—it’ll keep them tidy and stop the threads from unraveling. This also works brilliantly for different thread types. For example, I like to keep Maraflex stretchy thread separate from my regular “sew-all” threads, so one Spoolpod is dedicated entirely to my speciality threads. It’s a small detail, but it really streamlines my sewing routine.

Ready to Tidy Up Your Thread Stash?

I hope this gives you a good picture of how the Patterntrace Spoolpod can help you conquer that bobbin chaos once and for all. It’s such a simple idea, but it goes a long way toward making your sewing experience smoother and more enjoyable—because who wants to waste valuable sewing time trying to untangle threads?

Happy sewing, and may your threads be forever neat and tidy!
