I have a wonderful big cone thread holder that is made by a family owned business in WVA--I have no affiliation with the makers. I highly recommend this product and it is about $5.00 more than the cheap plastic ones you buy at the mega sewing stores. These are made from oak--quite sturdy. About 10 quilters in my stitch group have purchased one and we all love it.

The website it not working at this time (just checked). Tell them the quilters from Madison, AL recommended them.
