Tricks to Keep Your Workstation Organized

January 6, 2016 By Quilter's Thread

To help make your projects run smoothly it’s important to organize your quilting room so that it is neat and clean for when you start a project. Having an organized room will help you complete your projects faster than before while also having a place for every tool and material item. Here are some organizing tricks and hacks you should incorporate into your quilting workstation area.

1. Store-In-Drawer Cabinet 

Clear drawer cabinets are a great way to keep your area neat and organized by storing thread or fabrics in them. By choosing clear see-through drawers you can easily see what is stored in each drawer without having to open it, saving you time.

2. Storage Ottomans

Ottomans with storage space inside are a perfect way to decorate and organize your work area. With its versatile functions, ottomans are great for storing objects inside while also providing support and comfort while you quilt. A decorative ottoman will also give your work space a more elegant touch to your room.

3. An Organized Cutting Table 

Having a table that is well constructed will help you stay focused and finish projects quickly saving you time. By laying everything out and having a place for every tool will help you keep track of where everything is without having to stop and look for it.
There are different ways you can organize your cutting table such as having built-in drawers to store items in it or even putting hook pockets on the side of the table to store items for an easy way to grab them.

4. Thread Shelf Organizer

This is a great way to organize your thread and keep them from getting tangled up. You can even make your own custom made shelf like in the image below or buy one from the store. To stay even more tidy organize your thread by color coordination so that it is easy to compare thread shades from one another when deciding what thread will match your fabrics.
