My binding goes over my shoulder onto the floor behind me. I like your idea lots better. Just curious, on your Memory Craft 6600, what is the red triangle over the "knot" button?

great idea

That's a good idea. I roll mine on a toilet paper cardboard and put it on a peg board that's behind me but facing to the right. It comes off over my shoulder and right under the presser foot.

Smart lady. How much did you pay for your cone holder? I almost bought one at the sewing machine dealers yesterday when I picked up my machine, but...
He wanted $8.00 for his.

Super smart!! That would keep my cats off of it, too. Thanks!

When I first got my machine and was doing fmq, I found I did much better if I used the start and stop button instead of the foot pedal. Since I wasn't used to the machine, and my eyesite isn't what it used to be I kept hitting the wrong button to stop sewing. In retrospect, I don't know why I didn't put it(the red triangle) on the start/stop button! :idea: ;-) I don't even notice it anymore, I guess I could take it off! :thumbup:

If I remember right, I got it at a thrift store...don't remember what I paid for it, probably about $1

Great idea!!!

Great Idea :)

Are you kidding. 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. I also don't bother winding my binding on anything because it always seems to end up in a wad in the middle of the quilt as I sew it on. So now, I just wad it up in the middle of the quilt as I sew it on and eliminate the step of winding it on something. This works for me and keeps it off the floor.
