I agree with maniacquilter2 - many big cones are made for sergers and are only two ply threads - not as strong as regular sewing thread and more linty.

Thankfully I know the difference in threads lol. My grandmother in law has a serger so I've done some thread shopping for her.
I was more looking at it from an economical standpoint of buying larger quantities of thread and cones seemed the most logical.

I've seen this one and it's very pretty.... if you want to spend the money for it. I don't use cone thread, but if I did I'd get one of these.

I was in Houston last weekend for market and noticed someone selling machines had the cone spools in a tall glass container, like a vase for flowers. The height of the vase brings the thread up high so it doesn't drag on the machine anywhere. I'm going to dig a vase out from under the kitchen sink and take it the sewing room.
