Cone Thread Storage
 

I just opened up my first cone of thread to use on my juki. I've purchased a few more for other projects. How do you store it so that the thread doesn't unravel off of it? Somewhere in the back of my mind I recall reading about a "wrap" to put on it but my mind is too foggy to remember now. Thanks!

If it is a large cone, I would consider buying some ponytail rings (the kind that do not have the metal joining) at the drugstore and trying that. Just slip the ring over the cone. I don't like the clear plastic wraps because it can be hard to find the end. I just think the ponytail rings would be easier.

If it is a small cone, you might want to invest in these:

You can use floral nets on the cone. Just about any florist will have them and probably give you a few no charge.

Thank you. It's a 5,000 yard cotton cone from connecting threads (great deal!). Do you think these will still work (wraps)?

In reading the reviews, I saw a complaint that the wraps pop off of the larger cones (such as 5,000 yard). This leads me to believe they work well only for the smaller cones (which I think are 1,000 yards).

Thank you! Any other suggestions?

I use a rubber band and store my bobbin with the big cone

Do a search on Amazon for "thread nets". There were about 11 or so to look at.

Uh oh, you're supposed to do something special? Some of my threads (Glide) has a thread end catch. If it doesn't, I simply wind the loose part around the spool and pet it into place. If you have room on the spool, you can saw a little thread catch into the spool.

I use Dritz Long Arm Thread Socks. They fit the biggest cones I have. You can cut them the length you want. About $4 for 20 inch length.
