I've been using Connecting Threads for several years now and I'm very happy with it. Economically priced and they are a great company to order from. Some of the gals have said that they get a lot of lint with this thread, but I don't have that problem. Works great with my Elna and my brother machine.

I buy spools in colours that I'm unlikely to use much of.

How is that made? That looks like a good idea.

it just had a loop so he cut of a section and rolled the top with pliers.

Thank you, I'm gonna try that, appreciate the info!

I bought the cheap plastic holder not thinking it needed to have weight to not go all over the place, so I just found some really heavy washers in our junk drawer and piled those up on the spindle. The cone fits right over it, no problem.

They have cheaper ones at Joann's but they are very unstable to me. A canning jar (small size or large) works great. I have a lamp behind my sewing machine & I just drape my thread across one of the arms and then to the end to thread and it works wonderful.
