Heavy-Duty Aluminum Thread Rack - Made in Pennsylvania

42-cone capacity. Built for 2,000-6,000 yard commercial cones but works great with Floriani and Isacord embroidery spools as well.

Most wooden thread racks are designed for small spools. They sag, loosen, or split under the weight of full cones. This rack is built differently: 3/16" laser-cut aluminum, formed in Pennsylvania, with mounting holes spaced at standard 16" wall-stud centers. It's engineered for studios that move thread through long-arm quilting machines, multi-head embroidery setups, and other commercial operations every day. But it also looks great in a serious hobbyists workroom.

This is the rack a serious studio buys once. It's overbuilt - denser, more rigid, and more carefully made than a thread rack technically needs to be - and that's the point. Mounted and loaded, it becomes the visual anchor of the workspace: the kind of piece commercial shops want their customers to see, and that hobbyists end up featuring in the background of their workspace photos. It will still be in shape, straight, and holding the same cones twenty years from now. By then, anyone who chose wood will be on their fifth rack.

Tested with all major commercial thread brands, including Isacord, Floriani, Robison-Anton, Signature, Superior, YLI, Gutermann, Mettler, Maxi-Lock, and Presencia.

Specifications

Sizing for your collection

Designed to install singly or in groups. A single rack starts most studios; two or three is what an active long-arm quilter or commercial embroidery operation typically needs to bring a full thread collection out of drawers and onto the wall. The 16" mounting hole spacing lines them up cleanly side by side.

One practical note: starting with one to test the fit is reasonable, but with limited inventory and no restock planned, that approach only works if there are still racks available when you decide to add more.

Please read before ordering

This rack mounts to a wall. It is not freestanding. It's designed to attach directly to wall studs, sewing cabinet framing, or another solid vertical surface. The 16" mounting hole spacing matches standard American wall stud framing for straightforward installation. Multiple mounting holes are provided for flexibility - not all of them need to be used.

Built for 2,000-yard cones and larger. The 4.36" posts are sized for larger commercial cones. Smaller spools like Isacord 1000m and Floriani 1000m work fine on this rack, but smaller 1000yd Robison Anton does not. .

Mounting hardware is not included. The correct fasteners depend on what you're mounting to - drywall, wood studs, cabinet framing, or masonry all need different hardware. Your local hardware store can supply what you need for a few dollars. We don't include hardware because the wrong screws can cause a loaded rack to pull out of the wall, and the right ones depend on your specific installation.

Thread shown in photos is not included.
