My janome has a the upright and horizontal thread spoil but they are way too short to use a cone on. But for economical purposes if I can figure out how to use a cone of thread with my machine that would be awesome.
I use cone thread often for sewing. Just remember it's lighter weight (2 ply I think) than regular thread so less durable, but for most things it's fine-use regular bobbin thread. If you have a small empty thread spool you can put that on the spindle and then put the cone over it
. It keeps it from wobbling. If your thread rack dowels are too short for the cones cut drinking straws and slip over the dowels. Also works if you want to store bobbins with their thread spool or put 2 small spools of the same color together on the rack.
. Have fun sewing.
