    I use a Toilet paper holder attached to the back of the sewing table. Works great and stays neat.

    On some tuts I've seen where the spool of thread is placed into a large glass jar. The weight of the jar keeps it from falling over. I just sit mine on the right side of my machine but it will fall over once in awhile. Haven't had a chance to try the jar trick yet.

    I saw a tute and the sewer had her large spool of thread in a jar next to her machine.

    Here is what my hubby made me. It's a square piece of wood, a dowl in the middle, and a wire hanger in the back so that you can put the thread through and go to your machine.

    I love it and it's so handy.

    I was glad to see you selected the Janome Horizon 7700 QCP as I have one, too, and absolutely love mine. I use the heavy metal cone stand. There is a plastic one that looks identical but I was told not to get it because it wasn't heavy enough and I'm glad I took their advice. FYI... here's a new product I saw on the Martelli website but it's a little pricey.
