I have started to use a coffee cup for my spools of thread that are usually put on horizontally, like the connecting threads spools. since i'm using an older sm that has vertical spindles. otherwise, the thread st slides off the spool. another tip , since I spray baste my quilts on the design wall, I have to smooth it down. I used our week end newspaper that was in it's plastic bag, just like you would use a brush when wallpapering, smoothing from the top or middle down. works a treat!
