Superior Threads makes a very nice cast iron thread stand you can use with any sewing machine, I have one for each of my machines as I always use large cones of thread... as you said, much more economical.

This is the same stand that I use, but oh my....I think I paid about $8.00 for it! They must have really gone up in price since I bought mine, at Hancocks, I think. :thumbdown: I've had it several years tho.
