Action Bag FL100 Floss-A-Way Organizer-3X5 100/Pkg

Essential for keeping thread ordered, separated and not tangling.

Im giving these 5 stars because they do what they are expected to do. I like being able to buy floss and store it quickly (without winding). I like being able to see my inventory easily (Im almost out of this one, have a lot of that one). It was easy to write the number on each bag. Cons (things to consider)... A bit high priced considering these are just plastic bags (akin to a lunch sandwich bag) with a hole and a space for writing the floss color number. I dont think Id spend $8 on 100 sandwich baggies. And consider that most people who do cross stitch need more than 100 bags (as there are over 400 DMC colors), total cost will likely run most people around $40. Storage of the filled bags. I purchased the metal rings and ended up with 8 rings of bags. How do you store these? They were just a large mountain of bags of floss on metal rings. Then I got an idea - I have metal shelves in my craft room, I purchased S rings, and hung each ring of bags on an S ring on one of the shelves. Worked out pretty good but if you dont have the ability to do this, you need to think about how you are going to store.

We have used these bags forever. I was toying with the idea of switching to the bobbins, even bought a starter supply. But after testing the bobbins, I’ve decided to stick with the bags. They keep my thread clean and compact. No loose ends unraveling like the bobbins did. Storage could be an issue, they tend to take up more room than the bobbins might, especially when you have as much thread as I do. But someone else suggested putting them into binders and I’m going to try that and see if it works. They are easy to put on a ring and take with you when you travel with your project. Very happy with this product.

Sturdy bags, Ive never had one rip on me and they close without hassle (unlike the sandwich bags some people are comparing them with). The most hassle free to store floss during a project - you can stuff the floss, the label, and unfinished threads in there, and you dont have to worry about your silks snagging on anything. These bags are sometimes packaged with metal rings - this packaging is without a ring. In any case I prefer to use a cable keyring like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016K7QT8S because it is much lighter and you can get a bunch if you want to file them on rings.

I bought these bags for storing my DMC floss for cross stitching. I have purchased these before & they always had 2 holes to put the ring binders through & the skein of thread wasnt bent, it was able to lay flat. These have one hole and its on the side where the opening/seal is. Opening the bag to get your thread, while they are only on one binder ring, they are going to tear. 2 bags tore just putting the floss in. Floss isnt that big. I am really disappointed in the product.

Not as good as my older floss-a-way bags, which had a red stripe reinforcing the closure and hold punch to prevent break through in the ring. Older ones were made of slightly thicker plastic too. Still love these bags. Perfect size for up to 6 skeins of embroidery floss and easy to tuck away leftover cuts to use on that line leftover cross stitch. Cheaper than some smaller sized “pill bags” with write on area that I found at Walgreens (Use for when I just have a single cut left over).

Very much like this product. I needed this package to finish storing and labeling the rest of my DMC embroidery floss.

I love these easy to use/organizer my embroidery floss bags. I received them quickly at a great price.

These are the only bags to use in my opinion for storing floss. Have a 6 inch piece left after working the area you just finished? Just put back in the bag. Stays clean, dont have to unwrap anything, and easy to see pieces that have been cut and separated. Store on 3 rings, then take just the colors I need to put on project ring. When finished, put back on storage rings, and can easily see if there are any colors I might need. Spill a drink? no problem, wipe the plastic bags with a sponge, and youre good to go. Floss stays clean and dry. Bags also last about 4-5 years depending on how much you use them. Hope they never quit making them.

Perfect for my needs. I do a lot of cross stitch and they are perfect for storing floss, I even use a bag each for my mixed floss.
