DIY Cone Thread Stand for using Big Cones of Thread 

I started using a machine in June. RU-vid DIY videos have taught me a lot, and I am so grateful for the instructors. My thread jiggles and wiggles all the time when on the top holder. I will try these methods, until I find the one that's best for me to use. Thank you for this video.

Thank you so much for this video. I recently bought a cheap overlocker spool and then realised that it wasn't going to fit my sewing machine! Doh! I was so disappointed that I had wasted my money but thanks to you I can now use my big spool for sewing projects for years to come! xx

I dub thee Madame MacGyver! These were brilliant! Thank you so much for teaching 😊

You had me at "binder clip." Thank you!

Thanks for a few good tips to deal with large cones of threads. I enjoy your tutorial class.

Thank-you. I really didn't think I could use the bigger cone for my machine. I'm very excited because I now can to do some bigger project.

Brilliant! I’ve watched the number of videos on this and yours is by far the best. Thank you. 🙏

🌟 I place an empty bobbin on the top peg of my machine but your ideas are great 👍🏼

Love these ideas! Very, very clever. Thank you for sharing. ❤❤❤

This video was a lifesaver! Thank you!

All amazing a simple hacks. Thank you for explaining thread needs to be higher thank machine. Many other videos didn’t.

Great thrift! What improvisation, love it.

Thank you for the binder clip hack.👍🏼🙏

Thank you for this you saved me money on buying a thread stand

Thank you so much. You're much like me, you prefer to make your own solutions then have to go out and fork out more money. You have a brain that's always trying to solve issues in a low cost manner. I truly appreciate your innovation. My house burned and I lost everything I owned which meant ALL of my sewing stuff, and I don't have to like to go out and buy more things and I purposefully bought 1 white cone and 1 black cone of thread and that was what I was going to use for everything so I could save and not have to have a bunch of things around my house. you've really helped me think outside the box. You are helping people (and the environment!) and that's all that's important in life, really. -Nicholette

This is incredibly useful and creative, and I literally laughed out loud when you got to the freestanding version and started naming all components; MacGuyver would be so very proud 😄

Love your ingenuity, this will be so helpful, now I can use my surger spools. Than you

You are a super person sharing your knowledge.

lol, this is the best thing ever! I jimmied up a paint stick and mini bottle brush combo and it’s working like a charm .. sometimes we need people like you to awaken our creativity .. saved $20 on a cheap thing from amazon - thanks so much :)

Now I can use all those cones I have.. You are a genius. Thank you so much!

😁 You are so clever!

I am so glad I found your video! I was thinking of ordering one today but now I don't have to. Your very first suggestion is perfect. I use binder clips all the time for my fabric and now I have another use for them. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing such great ideas

You are a great tinkerer!

REally great ideas!

These are excellent ideas. Thank you

Oh my gosh these are brilliant .

Simply genius 🤗🤗🤗

Genius. I just got a big cone of thread and when it came I thought, uh oh, this is bigger than I thought! Your solutions are wonderful. I thank you.

Great video - so helpful. Thank you!

Thank you so much for these ideas!

You're amazing 😍 with these ideas

OMG SO brilliant, buying small thread drove me crazy, Can you use the surging thread cones to? I have been told the thread is completely different & should never be used on a basic machine. SO GLAD YOU POPPED UP ON MY YT PAGE.

Brilliant ideas.

Great ideas!

Great ideas! Thank you!

Plenty of cheap, ingenious ideas! Thanks for this!!

Great ideas Angela🙃

just came across your channel, 🤩 WOW 😍, marvelous idea🥰! Thank You and Subscribed👍

Thanks for useful video

Thank you so much for so creative ideas! They are great ;)

Wow! Just found your channel. Love this hack! Wish I had found this last year when I was sewing a lot of masks.

I love your creative, out of the box ideas, Angela. Using cones of threads, at least the ones you use a lot of, can save quite a lot of money. Smart :)

Thank you so much for these great ideas. I was on my way to buy one but I have all the items you mentioned at home!!

Very useful tips thank you

You are Fabulous. Thank you for all the creative ideas.. Onto purchasing spool thread. :)

Thank you!! And it's awesome you gave so many different alternatives. I had seen a video that showed the mug method, but it did not mention the thread going up through something before running through the machine. I've been doing it this way for a couple of months now, but have been having major tension issues. I am now pretty sure this may be the cause. I'm going to look through my desk to see what I can use that you showed here!

Thank you so much your awesome!!!!!

Fantastic!!!

Thank you ❤

Thank you! This is such a help

You’re amazing.

Thank you.

How about filling an empty wooden spool? Any ideas? Thanks for sharing your tricks👍

Thank you

Very nice

I look forward to seeing your videos. I love them all!

very creative ideas. I buy larger cones for my projects and do not have enough thread stands to use for all of my machines, I will be using some of your suggestions. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you!!!!

Genius

Wow 😲😳💖

Tysm it worked ❤️🙌

Clever

Thank you. I tried everything to get my diy thread stand to work, but the tension was far too loose. I used your bulldog clip tip on the spool holder and that put the tension right.

Thank you. Any tips for using the giant spools via the bobbin?

Very nice! Thanks for sharing.

❤❤❤

What does DIY stand for? I'm looking into thread but I don't know what that is. Thank you

😁👍👍

Thank you, I love this tutorial, the first one I see from you! I already subscribed!!! Can I ask you a question? I have a lot of plastic and wooden thread spools that I had never thrown away because I wonder what can we do with them. Seen some videos about key chains or rewind with new thread, but nothing I really like. I am not talking about the cone ones but the one or two inches ones. Any DIY good ideas? Thank you very much!
