Miriam,
I just re-read your statement. If I understand what you said correctly, you want to put the eye bolt on the end of the chopstick and place that eye bolt over the spool pin. In that arrangement the chopstick would swing and move and would and not stay directly over the thread spool. If you can secure the eye bolt to the spool pin I think that the might work, however chop sticks are not made with strong wood and I think it would split easily where the eye bolt is screwed in. Just my thoughts.

I don't do very good with those suction cups for some reason...
