Thread stands
Are there any advantages to using a thread stand?
Someone gave me a Thread PRO stand but another question I have is; are there some stands that only work with certain machines? I would attach a link the one I have but can't find it anywhere. Maybe someone is familiar with this one.

thread stand seem to work with all machines. Took a class and if the spool fits the machine and doesn't pull then use the machine the stand is nice if you use cones that don't lay down. If you use aurofil the wider orange bottom pops off so you can use it either way

Yes there are thread stands that are made for certain machines, they mount to the specific machine and usually hold several spools or cones for machine embroidery. There are also generic stands like this that sit behind any machine. Then there are the stand alone single spool stands and single spool stands that mount on any machine. Lots to choose from.

I think thread stands were made mostly for embroidery machines because some embroidery threads needed the extra length to stop the thread twisting, thus causing breakage. It depends on how the threads were woven/twisted during the making process, and some will knot up if there's not enough length to unwind. So if you don't have any issues with breakage you won't need a stand, & if it stands alone then it will do for any machine.
