I have noticed that quilters often use the same color thread or even variegated thread because they loathe changing threads. As part of Vicki W.'s REAL Studio Tour, I would like to present my special tool for changing threads. My "Tommy" automatically unthreads the sewing machine and moisturizes the thread at the same time! Although I got my version at a Humane Society about 17 years ago, I think they are still widely available and come in a variety of sizes and colors.

    Oh how cute - I do hope you'll bring your tool to my Feline Friday Linky party today. Unfortunately mine don't work the same as yours - I must have different models. LOL!

    Love it!! My studio assi-cat-tant had to go live with our son because DH developed an allergy. I miss his 'helping' me stitch.

    Haha! Hopefully this process doesn't take place while you're trying to sew! I love the look he's giving it.

    I think you should get the award for Best Non-Traditional Quilting Tool, but you'll need two since you will have to share!
