That wooden form is far to much work for me, plus I don't have the tools, plus..the thread is always exposed to dust and light both of which can discolor and weaken threads. Now, granted, for many the threads aren't there long enough for anything to effect them as we sew alot, but still...some are there and the more colors you have the less often you use each color. I keep mine in a drawer right under my banquet table sewing table. Right there and hand's reach for changing threads as often as I do and out of the light and dust. I have polys in one drawer, cottons in another. Works like a charm for me!
