Has anyone figured out anything that works?

You could try something like this:

I thinkt the dritz stand to be flimsy and not worth the
effort. Putting the cone on the floor behind the table
and using a couple coat hangers bent ot have thread guide
loops (and something to hold them in place) works just as
well.


I confess that, in order to answer OP, I googled for
"thread cone holder" and selected that one from several
hits, I have no actual experience with it. My cone holder
is very heavy duty, it came with a used industrial machine I
bought a few years back to do some upholstery. The machine
is long gone, I kept the cone holder.
