Easy Cone Thread Holder
I bought a cone of thread, from Red Rock Threads, as it was sooooo much cheaper than several spools. This is Superior So Fine, 3280 yards. I don't have a cone holder BUT I do have an extra post, which sits vertically. Here's how I made a cone holder, from it! Works perfectly!

Guess my machine doesn't know that "rule" because it's been working perfectly. Thanks for the tip, though. If it starts causing a problem, I'll come up with something different.

I read once that if the thread feeds off the top of the spool you should use the sideways spindle. If it feeds off the side of the spool you should use the upright spindle. That seems to work on my machine. I will have to try your trick, Thanks.

For the regular spools, my machine has a horizontal spindle, which turns the spool onto its side, feeding from only one end. Have been through many spools of thread and never had any problem with that, either. Guess time will tell, whether or not this causes a problem. So far, it's been working fine.
