181 containers, not 251. A strict subset, with nothing of its own.

Quilting draws on 181 containers and 255 closures against the shared 251 and 288. Every row it has is on that shelf; it simply has fewer of them.

The obvious explanation is the capacity ceiling

This shelf runs 5 to 354.882 mL with a median of 118.294. The shared shelf runs to 500. So the large end is missing.

But that accounts for exactly half of the exclusion

The 70 excluded containers run from 36.967 to 500 mL with a median of 384. Thirty five of the seventy are above this shelf’s ceiling. Thirty five are inside its capacity band.

Which means size is not the whole of the reason

Half the excluded rows would fit the band this shelf covers and are not on it. That is a routing decision, not a property of the containers.

The exclusions by family suggest what the decision was about

25 PET single wall jars, 8 PP round tubs, 7 glass mason and paragon jars, 7 glass hex jars, 6 glass straight sided jars, 6 PP single wall jars, 3 French squares and 2 plastic spice bottles.

A mason jar and a hex jar are both shapes with a purpose elsewhere

They read as preserving and as retail presentation. Which is a plausible reason to route them away from a workshop shelf, and it is an explanation rather than a recorded fact, so the page says which it is.

The honest statement is about the shelf and not about the catalog

A curated shelf cannot show what it excluded. An absence here is evidence about this shelf, and anybody reading it as evidence about what can be supplied will reach a wrong conclusion.

What remains is still a deep shelf for this job

157 jars, 18 bottles, 4 tubs and pails, 2 tubes. 83 PET, 64 polypropylene, 34 glass. 52 of the 181 are clear, which is the largest single color.

Dimensions are recorded for most of it

Height 0.5 to 5.33 inches with a median of 2.27, recorded for 168 of 181. Diameter 0.617 to 4.5 inches with a median of 2.57, recorded for 159. Both are outside measurements.

And the case pack is the same wholesale pattern as the full shelf

12 to 6,370 with a median of 350. Availability, a snapshot taken on 19 October 2026 and not a promise: 116 of 181 marked available, 64 not, one unrecorded.

Written from 16 CFR part 1610 and from the catalog as it stood on 19 October 2026. Part 1610 is the Standard for the Flammability of Clothing Textiles and it classifies fabric by how fast a flame spreads across a test specimen; it does not govern clips, pins, blades or templates, and nothing here says it does. No container on this shelf is described as fire resistant, flame retardant or rated for anything, and no liner is described by what it will achieve in any particular use. This shelf is a subset of the store-small-dry shelf and the sewing notions property enumerates that shelf in full.
