I use a lot of cone threads for my reg. machine. Cut a Pringle can in half, use the plastic top as the bottom for one of the halves. Insert a spray can top (the size of a deoderant or pam spray top) into each pringle half can - Drop your cone into the top, place can to the back and right side of your machine, thread and sew - no tangles, no wobbling, just smooth stitching. Upon reading, it may sound confusing but its easy as pie
I've been known to tape the two pringle cans together for easy access to two different threads when sewing some projects.
Love the board - but it IS addictive, have to control myself or I'll get no quilting done.
