Yes, JoAnn's has them. Seems like I paid about $3.99.

Mine is similar to the one Up North posted. Mine originally was a metal banana tree from the Dollar Store.

You could weight the base if needed by placing the bottom in a small container and adding some plaster of Paris to it. I find mine works just fine.

What great ideas. Thanks everyone.

I'm so confused. If your threads are meant to lay horizontally, how is the spool holder that sits behind your machine going to help? The spool will still be sitting upright or vertical.

I'm with you, sister. Guess the quilt police haven't caught up with me yet!

If the thread is cross wound onto the spool, it's meant to come off the end. If it is stacked wound, doesn't cross over itself, it's meant to come off the side of the spool. Most of the time it's not critical if it comes off the side. The only threads I know of that it's critical to use them either horizontal or vertical are metalics and invisibles.

What's your question? Stack wind comes off the side of the spool. Cross wind comes off the end of the spool.

The only ones I know of that MUST be used the way they are wound are metalics and invisibles.

Sorry for the confusion. No question really. Never paid any attention to how thread was wound on a spool. It was meant as a comment, more like a huh, how about that. The question mark probably should have been an exclamation mark but that seemed a overkill.
