good idea, is your machine a Singer 401 A or 501 A? I have one of each.

Necessity is the mother of invention. You know we're all going to try this!

Sometimes the simple solutions are the best, and low cost to boot. Congratulations on your ingenuity.

What if you cut a circle larger than the spool, punched a hole in the center and glued it to the bottom of the spool?

Necessity is the mother of invention (or so I've heard) Great solution to a problem we have all shared. I solved it by using a sleeve on the spool. that works too

Good idea. Thanks for sharing.
I just cut out the narrowest part of a ladies stocking, then slip it over the spool with the thread coming out the top. Works perfectly!
