Default Has anyone ever MacGyvered way to have regular sewing machine hold thread cone?

A couple of years ago or so, I saw a sale for cones of
thread at a very good price so I bought a couple. I've
since never been able to figure out how to use them on my
regular sewing machine. When I went around Xmas to
fabric store, they told me that those were for sergers
and that I couldn't use them in any way on a regular
sewing machine.

Well, I've never been one to believe something can't be
done until I've exhausted all avenues. I _still_ may not
have figured out what I can do to use the cones on the
single slim spindle on my Singer but thought maybe
someone here had created something that would do the job.

I thought it couldn't hurt to ask.

Has anyone figured out anything that works?


You could try something like this:
http://www.amazon.com/Dritz-921-Cone.../dp/B0019KDYL2

Either to hold the cone and then thread to the rest of the
needle-threading path, or to hold the cone and wind bobbins,
then use them in place of spools.

I have a couple like that, I use them when I need to use
serger cones on my Singer.

NAYY,
