FYI... here's a new product I saw on the Martelli website but it's a little pricey.
I called my dealer yesterday and she said there's one that fits on the horizon and she's gona get it for me yay !! |
my friend made me a large spool holder from a wood bannana tree by screwing an eyelet hook for the thread to go thru under the top arc & on the base she glued a woodsmall peg about 4" long & .5 "around, works great

The spools are mainly used for serging and longarm quilting, but sometimes "just the right color" is on the spool, so, I put a med sized (coffee) can behind my machine and put the spool in it, then thread the machine.
The spool does the flopping in the can and does not tip over and roll off the table or any of the other fancy tricks it can do without being contained. I also have a dowel with a hole drilled in the bottom that fits on the thread holder mounted on the machine (made for this purpose), but don't use it, I like the can better. |

I have one of those spool stands. They will hold that spool. I got mine from Connecting threads. Not the pretty one but the cheapy. It works great.

They are so easy to make, and there are so many ways to make them that work well, it seems unnecessary to spend good fabric money on buying one.
My brother-in-law made us one that is just a piece of board with an 6" section of dowel glued into a hole he drilled towards one end, and a 12" section of a wire clotheshanger with a loop bent into the top end that he glued into a smaller hole he drilled near the other end of the board. He varnished and stained it up pretty, but you wouldn't even have to do that. It works great. |
Buy an iron stand sits behind machine, one of my favorite purchases ever!

I have the spool sitting on the table behind my sewing machine and thread the thread through a safety pin on one end of a drinking straw that's resting on the upright spool holder. Clear as mud? Here's a couple pictures.
