I do all the time. Got one of those thread lifters from Walmart so can use any size cone.

Years ago when I bought my first Bernina the seller impressed that I must not use "cheap" thead --only something like Gutterman. I did for a bit, then had my daughter give me back the grocery sack of thread I'd given her (which she was not using) and I ended up using it all. I now keep a collection of Gutterman's (I think) in a variety of colors that I use for machine applique. (Another JoAnne's sale item but a lot more expensive than the cheap stuff I use for piecing.)
