And there was talk recently here about a little machine where you can rewind the thread from cones onto spools so it's easily usable on your domestic machine. The name is right at the tip of my tongue ......?!??!?!?

Some people just put the cone in a mug behind the machine - I've had limited success with that method.

Here's the recent thread (hehehe):

The cone thread holder that dritz sells isn't a good one, the whole thing is plastic and over time the long rod bends over. You want a stand that is all metal. The cones of serger thread aren't meant for regular sewing of clothing,quilts etc..
