I have a H Viking Sapphire 830 machine.
I dont use the cheaper thread without the pop up top like you get at Walmart.
THere are several ways to use serger cone thread with a sewing machine. Turn it upside down on the spindle on top of the machine. Better, use a stand beside your sewing machine. CHEAPEST: put the cone in a coffee mug next to your machine, thread it through a binder clip (like we use to clamp our quilt tops down when we layer them) clipped to the top of the machine and then through the machine.
