After watching many diy videos on this, your holder is the best! The others were quick but didn't have an arm and I know that is hugely important. Thank you so much for such a satisfying project! I'll remember to come here first next time I have a sewing diy :)

I know this is almost 2 years old, but I needed this solution now! With everyone on lockdown, and sewing supplies hard to come by, I was delighted to find your quick solution to my problem. I had no idea how I was going to do a decorative stitch in contrasting thread on a job for a client, since cones were all I had to work wtih. Presto - one Mason jar, a scrap of felt and a glue gun and I'm ready to rock! Thanks so much - even though mine isn't as pretty, it's just what I needed, and custom sized for my set up too! Thank you!

I just made this from a candle lantern and a wire hanger. Works better than other solutions I’ve tried because the thread angle is just right and the machine doesn’t have to spin the cone! Finally, a genuinely useful project. Takes no money and saves on thread!!!

that is a great idea with the hanger, small spools don't last much and they end up being expensive, I did buy a larger one but I never used it because it is too big for my machine. I have to try this, seems like the perfect idea, thank you for sharing and regards from Italy
@Dianatorres6990 Жыл бұрын
I've been using the cones for a long time and it sure beats the price of the smaller spools. I also like using these spools when quilting because you can use just about any color. I use the ones that are the smallest and finish them up. Great way to save on the stands.

I do appreciate your advice and help with making a "Big Cone" thread holder. I've been wondering how to do that. I've also been wondering how they actually work with your sewing machine. I WAS kinda scared to even buy one ... now, I still don't wanna buy one - I wanna MAKE my own. I'm a bit of a multi - craft person, and, I'll prob be making many of these homemade large cone holders even if all I'd really need is one of 'em. I like having spares of things like this so if one should ever break on me or mess up, I'll have another one on stand - by. TYSM for sharing this video with us .

Great idea... The only thing to be aware of is bending that wire with the pliers. The pliers have very sharp teeth which will leave burrs on the wire right where the thread feeds through. This could catch and damage the thread. Wrap a few turns of masking or painters tape around each jaw so it does not leave a mark on the hanger wire. Better still bend it by hand if possible. Thanks for the tip

@BradPaul18634 жыл бұрын
Maybe someone has already has mentioned this, but the "cutter/pliers" you are using, or "dike" for cutting, is ALWAYS going to be difficult to cut through hanger wire. A "normal" pliers has always had a shear cutter at the very inner-most section of the pliers near the pivot point of the pliers joint. Surprisingly, it's really a joke how easy it is to cut through hanger wire. So far, I'm VERY happy to watch the rest of your video to help with my project. I have very little sewing skills, but I have a descent JX2517 machine and I just want to finish some box cushions with the large spool thread that should be perfect. Without your DIY solution, the upper thread tension is way too high. Thanks

This is great! I recently started buying the large cone spools for my projects because of the value, and was just using a cup but it wasn't the best due to not having the hanger portion you've made.

I didn't even search this topic it just showed up in the suggested videos and boy am I glad, because when my cone of thread came in a couple of weeks ago I had to hand-wind the thread from the cone to the spool.
