More Efficiency With A Pako Floss Organizer

By Christa Jarvis


Embroidery and other handwork projects where many color changes are required can be very difficult. It helps to have an accessory like a Pako Floss Organizer to keep floss from getting tangled. Many people involved in doing intricate stitching projects testify as to how these organizers help them to be more efficient.

Organizers have 25 hooks or pins on each side. The threads are looped over these and hang over the sides. Each hook matches up with a corresponding window or a little square. This little square is used to identify a particular symbol found on the pattern. The threads go from the hook through foam tab. These tabs hold them securely in place to prevent tangling.

These organizers are even helpful for sorting and storing the colors used in a cross-stitch or embroidery kit. However, they really come into their own when used on complex projects using multiple colors where colors need to be changed constantly. This can result in complete disorganization without the help of a handy accessory like this with certain colors getting lost or tangled up with others.

The first step in setting up this accessory is to take a code card and label it with the color codes from the pattern. Blank cards are included with this accessory when purchased. Keeping to the order used on the pattern is advisable. Setting up all the little codes in the beginning can take some time but the effort is well worth and actually saves time in the long run.

Once the windows have their color codes, the appropriate colored fibers are then looped onto the hooks. The way they fit securely between the foam pads keeps them neat and makes removing a thread easy, avoiding any knots and twisting. Using a needle tip to remove a single thread can be helpful.

This accessory is sturdily constructed and will last through numerous projects. It does not weigh much and so it is easily transported. It can simply be carefully placed in a bag and taken along on any occasion where needed. Sometimes people who are doing really large, complex projects will even own two organizers to cope with all the different colors they need to use.

Most people involved in doing embroidery or cross-stitch are careful to work with very clean hands. Washing hands before working is important so that any oils and sweat that might be on the hands are not transferred. The little foam pads are probably the most vulnerable part of this accessory and they can get dirty if not enough care is taken.

Organizers can be bought from many stores today to keep floss neat and secure. When buying from online stores, reading product information and understanding the terms and conditions of the supplier is essential. Shopping online does offer a convenient way of comparing prices which vary from supplier to supplier. Discounts and special offers can also be taken advantage of and reading customer reviews can help one find out more about a product.
