Weighted Thread Holder
I am looking to buy a cone thread holder. I have a plastic holder but I want a weighted one that won't tip over. The type that you put behind your machine to hold a cone of thread. Can anyone recommend one?

I have this one http://www.connectingthreads.com/too...r__D71253.html from Connecting Threads and I love it. It's very heavy and it's pretty to boot.

check out LongCreek Mills. They have a weighted stand for $8 and they only charge what the shipping actually costs.

I just bought a cast iron cone stand from Annie's but I'm not too thrilled with it. It was cheap, but I kind of got what I paid for. The center pin (that the cone goes over) doesn't fit right. If I wedge it in firmly, it's at a pretty wacky angle. If I straighten the pin, it's totally wobbly. Argh!
I am thinking I will find a wooden dowel to shove in that spot instead of the metal pin it came with. Otherwise the stand is nice - heavy and sturdy. The tall arm that the thread goes through is nice and straight.

I have two of the Superior stands. They can be used vertical or horizontal and comes with adapters for large cones. It's the best stand I have used. I have the decorative metal stand sold at Connecting Threads, it's heavy and pretty. Sometimes I feel like some threads need a pretty stand.
