why? just set in a coffee mug behind the machine and bring thread up and over the spool pin and thread regularly...there is also a pin you can but with a little platform that sits behind your machine and has an arm that you bring the thread up thru and to the machine spool pin, etc., i have used them for 20 yrs this way...it's fine...
oops, tartan and i were typing at the same time, i guess...but am happy to hear about the paper towel holder...will look...
PS...if you take your old pantyhose and cut off a 6" length, then sew (zigazg or serge) into a tube about 2" across, trim and slip over the spool...the thread will not come off too fast... i sew all the way down the leg on both sides, 2" from fold...then just keep in my sewing cabinet to chop off 6" whenever i need a new one...i leave them on the cones so it doesn't get messy in my thread box...
