You can get metal cone holders with a thin spike in the middle to hold the cone. I've never use one though. A friend of mine puts her cone in a sturdy mug and has been happy with it.
Thank you for your reply. I have heard of using a mug. Hmmm, I think that that might work on medium size cones.
See my reply to Joey below. I will try both ideas.
I used a mug once upon a time, and the thread got sucked into the motor because of the way it was coming up over the side of my machine - so just be careful of where you place it and run the thread up and over the machine!
