I am impressed with your ingenuity. I think though, that because of the way the thread is wound, it is designed to feed evenly off the top, so if you put your great little thread holder gadget on the same level as the machine and then thread through your little clipper thingy, it might feed nicely without a lazy susan. Just a thought. I have a thread holder (plastic, got it for about 5 bucks), that has my thread sit upright and then has a little finger like thing above it that the thread goes up over and then to the machine and it works great. I use it primarily when I wind the bobbin with the thread I use in the bobbin for embroidery.
