    There is a cone holder with the notions at Joanns that works great---I have used it for years---not that expensive ---can't remember how much but worth it---I'm sure Hancocks carries one to---I use cone thread more than the other for most sewing and piecing---the man I bought my first good machine from said to use it and he was a Pfaff dealer

    I like seeing the faces on your spools. They are adorable.

    Hi! I'm from St. Charles too! Assume you're talking about "Leftovers". It's a great place, but agree, when I go there I can only drop off, not look or I'd bring home more than I took.

    I'm saving what few I got so far, just in case my granddaughter needs them for a craft project for school. I keep them in a plastic store bag hanging on a closet door knob so they are out of the way.

    Glue them to the bottom of fabric covered boxes as feet then they look like furniture.

    Used to give the non-destructable ones to the ferrets. They had a ball with them. Since I no longer have the weezes, I just toss them.
