I have 2 stands that hold 10 spools each. I love them for my embroidery machine, where I have to change threads often, and frequently repeat the same color on a design. I made my own thread stand for using cones at my DSM. I used a piece of 2x4 board for the base, drilled a small hole and used a piece of heavy wire coat hanger to lift the strand of thread. On each side of the wire I inserted a piece of doweling to hold the cone in place. Works like a charm.
