You can probably get this at JoAnns. It is a plastic base where the spool sits toward the back of the machine. It has a metal wire that is around a foot high with a hook on the end of it and this is where you feed your thread thru. This is just above your machine and works very well. I have one on each machine. You can also find this notion in some of the sewinfg catalogs. I'm pretty sure Nancy's notions has them too, or also Clotildes. Good luck!
