The price per meter is SO much better, and since I am using up spools so quickly with this dense art quilt, it seems like a big savings. I know I will need a spool stand to sit next to my machine. It can't sit behind it, because, while this case is quilt as you go- and small, sometimes there will be a large quilt behind there. I have no experience with a thread stand- will it still feed as nicely once it goes through all the guides?

I'd appreciate all your opinions! I have a Bernina 430 if that makes a difference.
I made a stand out of a "mug tree" - works great
