Thread on cones. ? My husband (who isn't a finish person) took
a block of wood, put a BIG nail in it , put a thin piece of PVC pipe
over the nail , took a wire coat hanger and bent it so it would
hold the thread off the spool . It works terrific. I have some
cones to use too. I have a huge one of white I've been using for years and trying to get it gone.
GOOD LUCK
