Very clever indeed. I learned another clevor use for a paint roller handle -- I use it with a high density roller to smooth cake icing. When I go to Lowes in search of something, the workers there are mystyfied when I tell them what I'll be using the item for. I'll be running over there for another paint roller. Thanks.

PERFECT!
I use a piece of hanger bent to hang off a shelf, my thread is behind my machine, I can use any size cone, and the cone moves so the thread doesn't tangle. :)

I've always heard that necessity is the mother of invention. Maybe that should be changed to a quilter is the mother of invention. I personally think you had a great idea and glad that you followed through with it.

Great solution and so funny. I had my husband come and look and told him to watch out. If he is too slow then I'm off to his garage and do it myself. Thanks for the chuckle.
