yes you can...and there is a NEW tool out on the market to help you do that without using one of those flimsy thread holders...
it is the "thread stem" from quilter's paradise! They sell for only $3.25 (my price is $2.75) and they are made in the USA....

the only thing I have found is that is you have a cone that is thinning down, place it in a wide mouth jar with marbles at the bottom to keep it from toppling over...
