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.
Whoa!!! That is one neat idea with the binder clamps,wish I knew about before I spent my money. But I do like the spool tool.
