I just put a medium-sized spool on and then the cone spool over it. Does the job in preventing the cone from falling off when sewing.
Very good use of RECYCLABLE goods.

I used a wood paper towel holder I picked up for $1.50 at Goodwill. I had my DH put a eye screw in the top to run the thread through. The thread cone sits on the spindle for the paper towel.

Life is a coin. You can spend it any way you wish but you can only spend it once.
My God what a wonderful idea where in the world did you get the idea , Bless you maybe you should write a book about using things around the house for use .
What a great idea. And, keep the top if it is one of the tall ones. It would keep your thread clean, and be a great little case for carrying all those quilting gadgets to the retreats that we all like to go to.
I'll be using this idea very soon.

I always just stick the cone in a coffee mug or pint size canning jar...works.
A friend of mine gave me a huge, and I mean HUGE, cone of white thread. It is 8 1/4" tall and 7" wide. It weighs at least 5 pounds. She found it at Goodwill for $2 and thought of me. I don't think a couple of CDs are gonna weight that sucker down but I'm going to work with your idea and see what I can come up with. I want to use it!!!!
