The cones don't fit on the spindle on my sewing machine (and I think this would be true for all sewing machines). I put the cone in a plastic storage container and then threaded it through a bobbin attached to the spindle so that the thread would still come from the top of the machine.
In the end I decided using cones was more trouble than it was worth for me, because the cone kept moving around while I was sewing and got in my way since it was now taking up space on my sewing table. Plus it didn't fit into my drawers where I keep thread. I'm sure if I were really determined I could have worked out some sort of solution, but I don't need that much thread for most colors anyway.
