QUILTER GUY WROTE: I just improvised and made my cone holder and thread feed out of a wire hanger. It works perfectly and has for years and it didn't cost me a thing.

Got pictures to share?

That is a great idea. That way it not trailing on the floor with the cats and dog playing with it.

I could try to get some, but if you're following my other thread I'm not doing much sewing right now. My sewing room looks like a tornado hit it. I'm not going to be home for a while, but if I get a chance I will take a picture of it for you. It was quite easy. I just made it up to fit my situation. I'm kinda crafty that way. lucky me!?!

What a great idea. I use a paper towel roll but I'm going to try this.

Necessity is the mother of all inventions, that is an inexpensive and effective idea, thanks for sharing.
