TANTO thread organiser reviews please

Does anyone have a Tanto thread organiser as i have seen them on the internet and there are quite a few mixed reviews about them. Does the thread get tangled up and can you replace the elastic bands when they break?

Any views greatly received :D:D:D

They look good but never used one. I sort my floss on a sheet of hardboard screwed to the wall and then small panel pins nailed onto it at intervals in several rows and I hang the floss on the nails in numerical order.My wonderful husband made it for me, itis out of the way on the wall behind the door, I can see at a glance the colour numbers and it was cheap to make.A simple idea but so useful.

It is a nice way to have them sorted langstep!I dont have a spare wall in my apt to do that so I guess Ill have to keep mine on the bobbins and in sorters!

I havent heard of the Tanto thread organizer.Ill have to look it up sometime to check it out.

From what i have been reading they still tangle up especially when the elastic bands break

I must admit that they look rather expensive being only plastic, and therefore I would think rather flimsy. The company are selling them on ebay for £29.99 if that helps.

well i took the plunge and bought a secondhand one which i managed to get for just a few pounds and it is a bit flimsy and to be honest i am not convinced that it will do the job as well as is claimed in the companies write up but i will give it a shot and see what happens. If all else fails it will be on ebay in a couple of weeks lol

I have one but dont use it as much as I did, 3 years ago got a new puppy who decidedit was fun to try and eat my threads, so I put it away. Might try again now, lost quite a few threads that I had stored on card as he likes to eat anything card. That hasnt changed but he might leave the stand alone.
