THE SEW STACK

From Noble Notions

Retail: $39.95

 

There is no shortage of cute ideas for storing bobbins and thread on the vast world wide web, but many fall short on practicality. But this colorful new organizer really delivers on functionality.

 

The Sew Stack—constructed of a soft, flexible latex-free material— includes interlocking trays that can hold bobbins, threads, or a combination of both. Each bobbin tray can accommodate up to 40 bobbins, while the thread tray can hold up to 16 standard-size spools of thread.

The new program—being formally introduced at spring Quilt Market—provides businesses an in-store display that includes CraftOptics display cubes, brochures, window stickers, and store coupon codes.

 

Participating stores simply refer interested customers to CraftOptics with the store's coupon code, which provides a savings of $50 off a CraftOptics Telescope and DreamBeam package. In addition, upon purchase, CraftOptics provides the customer with a $50 coupon to use in the store itself. CraftOptics will reimburse the store $50 for each order taken using the store coupon code.
