And there was talk recently here about a little machine where you can rewind the thread from cones onto spools so it's easily usable on your domestic machine. The name is right at the tip of my tongue ......?!??!?!?

Some people just put the cone in a mug behind the machine - I've had limited success with that method.
I have done both. I put it in my mug behind the machine and used the adaptor. I liked the adaptor better but i don't think it works well for quilting. I had the mug behind my quilt for my 2nd quilt I finished and when I was doing binding with the mug behind my machine and the quilt kept knocking it down to the floor.
