I got a coffee mug, rubber-banded a dowel rod to it, then attached a large safety pin to the top using a big thumb tack. The pin is attached at the end that opens, and the thread runs through the loop at the end. It works perfectly, and since I already had everything on-hand, it didn't cost a dime! :)
Here's a couple of photos. :mrgreen:

Hi, I saw something somewhere where you can take a coffee cup and put the thread in it and they said it works well. Also a Singer salesman told me to get a piece of wood for the botton square or round and drill a hole big enough to fit a dowel rod in the hole and that will also fit your thread and then near the top screw in a small cupholder screw or one of those little round ones that screw in and put it on the side of the dowel rod and he said it costs a lot less. Good Luck Sue
