Embroidery Organization System

Organizing your embroidery floss makes stitching so much easier. This digital download by Tidy Stitch groups together color families so you can easily sort your threads. DMC embroidery floss is not always in numerical order, so it can be hard to remember which colors go together if you’ve taken a bunch of thread out for a project. Print them, cut them out, and stick them in each slot to keep things organized!
