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.

Be sure to get the one with the cast iron base. The plastic ones tip and do
not stay put well. I can supply it if you can;t find it local.


Ah well, I saw my cone holder on sale before reading this post. I got
a plastic-bottomed one. Well, I'll just have to live with it for now.
I got it on sale so it's not like I paid a fortune for something
flimsy. I could come up with a way to keep the base more stable if it
becomes a problem.

Thx.
