That is a great idea!! Do you thread your regular machine the same way as usual?

When I took my first quilting class nine years ago the instructor said to use only Gutterman thread. I have, for the most part, but I've seen much better prices at Connecting Threads and other places. I'm ready to start using the cones.

Yes thread it the same way this sits behind my machine off to the right. You just need to go through the top hook to get it high enough so it doesn't pull. You can also place the cone in a cup or jar and use a cup hook on the wall behind your machine.

I have bought cones of thread at my local fabric store and Connecting Threads. They sit in a glass beside my machine and I have never had a problem using them.

Be careful where you place the cone holder so it doesn't get wrapped around the wheel of your machine. It cost me a lot of money because the thread got wrapped around my wheel and broke it. Be careful
