There is a device called a Thread Pro which allows a spool to sit on a heavy metal bottom, a rod which allows the thread to feed off the spool and then it feeds into the thread holder on your machine. ( Clotilde or Nancy's notions?_) Also, if your machine faces the wall, hang a lamp near your machine and feed the thread over the lamp and into your machine thread holder.

Go to my web sight at www.quilttilyouwilt.net and I think my thread holder is there. I have a man who makes all of my wood items and he does a great job. I will check later and see if it is there if not I will post one by tomorrow night. Pat

I use a wooden paper towel holder that set on my cabinet and was hateful for getting paper towels. It is heavy enough to hold the largest cones. Attach a pipe cleaner around the top(where knob screws on) to make the thread go up the cone. I like it better than my bought flimsy plastic one. Quilters make do with what they have.

I discovered yesterday when I was working with a big spool that
I could take my paper towels off the chrome holder and use it
for my big spool sitting behind my sewing machine. It worked
great today.
