This site puts a cone into a cup, but every time the thread comes off the back of the cone, there would be an extra little tug on the thread. This is exactly what you do not want. Try to put the cone onto a thread stand so that the thread comes directly off the top with no added resistance.

Jim's solution may work well for a while but you could develop tension problems, especially when attempting FMQ on the machine or high speed stitching. ---
Actually he does neither. He has not even used the machine in about 14 years. I'm fairly sure that he will okay as he does very little sewing. Just hemmed a few pairs of pants recently.
