a big cone of thread on a domestic machine
#1
any one have any clever suggestions as to how I use these big cones of thread I have on my little DM? I'm sure someone here has figured out something brilliant. I'm at a loss. I tried a paper towel holder but it's too big. :roll:

I also use the cone holder like in bjeriann's picture. I've had 2 different ones, one plastic-bottomed, one heavy metal-bottomed. The metal one works much better for me. Works great and cost less that $10 at the LQS.

I use the black plastic cone holder as pictured above. I have found it often solves problems when doing machine embroidery with metallic threads...can set it further away from the machine which allows the thread to feed without twisting which results in breakage.

There is also the Deeleybob which are several different sized heavy plastic/nylon spindles or adaptors designed to fit inside your cone of thread. Sometimes you have to use two of them together to get the right size. They will also handle the smaller cones of embroidery thread. I have a set and they work quite well on my old Singer 201 and will sit right on the thread pin.
