leafy OFFLINE Posts: 170 Thank you received: 5	Before I got a holder for large spools/cones of thread, I used to put a spare teapot behind the sewing machine and stick the cone on the spout. I taped a safety pin to the regular thread holder on the machine, then fed the thread first thru the eye of the safety pin, & then thru the machine as usual. Worked great!

jbtaz36 OFFLINE Posts: 436	I found one at Joann's in the Viking Department which is separate from the actual store and it looked exactly like the one on the Superior website with a weighted bottom and it cost $9.95. I was happy. I will start using it for piecing, too? Huh, Ritzy??????? Judy in AZ

Thanks again for the latest input. I will look at the Superior site and rummage through magazines. I am babysitting today and plan on going to Joann's and Michael's with my DGD. Maybe I will see something. At one of the classes I recently took, the teacher recommended a thread stand to let the thread untwist from the spool before going into your machine. I'm sure it works best for quilting rather than piecing. Judy in AZ

Judymc OFFLINE Posts: 785 Thank you received: 1	Judy, there are some really cute ones--very decorative with cone flowers and some with sort of a daisy flower. They also have a place on them for extra bobbins. They sell for about $50.00 online and are advertised in most of the quilting magazines. I saw some at Road 2 CA. Judy in Torrance

Stinki OFFLINE Posts: 234 Thank you received: 3	They are called thread stands and come as single, or multicone stands. I looked at mine to see if there was a name on it and it doesn't have one. But I googled thread stands and found them. Carla
