I have a cone of thread dangling from my curtain rod, bottom up. Works
fine -- but my sewing machine happens to have a lever with a smooth
hole in it quite close to one of the spool pins.
I have also set a cone in a box on the floor and run the thread up to
the machine. The box makes the cone less likely to be knocked over,
and keeps the thread clean if I do kick it.
