I use mine too. I had trouble with mine falling in the floor so I went to thinking what I could do. I finally solved the problem with a large heavy Shrek glass my grandson left here. I put the thread spool in the glass behind the machne and it works great.

I have a thread adapter at my LQS that allows you to use different size spools.

I place a straw on my thread holder then place the large spool on top of that, it has never fallen off or caused me any problem, it sounds a little wobbly sometimes, but works great.

They make something for that! lol
I have one of these. It works. I didn't pay that much for it, though. http://www.deelybob.com/product.sc?productId=1 This only works with thread cones that have a wide opening. |
I went to Dollar General got a heavy metal Paper towel holder- licked a suction cup onto the top of the big rod - put the cone on the small rod and away I went :thumbup:
|
My husband attached a home made version of the metal thread lifter thing to the sewing machine table that I use (but it is a really a free standing computer desk).
It never flies anywhere that way. It didn't cost anything because it was made from something sitting around. |
