I found one of the big cone holders on quilting warehouse.com for less than $5.00. Try it!

Would it work to cut the top off of an empty spool & place it inside the larger spool, then place them together on the spindle?

Clotilde and Nancy's Notions have different types of attachments you can use to extend the length of the spindle that holds your thread. Or-google for thread spindle extension and see what is there. Several people at my guild have these adapters.

In another thread, someone mentioned that they put the spool of thread into a mason jar .... and loop to machine as stated in PPs

I bought a wooden insert that goes inside the spool and fits on machine spool holder from my Bernina dealer it works great and cost about $2.00.

Thanks for your help.

These are not the cones. I have a cone holder but these are the Connecting Thread Essentials. They are 2 1/2 inches tall with a larger hole than regular spools.

I think they will still work with the cone holder.

Here is the one DH made for me. The base is from a lamp made of cast iron, very sturdy & has felt feet. He is such a handy fella :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

I use a heavy bottom mug. Like a clear beer mug. It works great.
