your machines. My question is do any of you cuties use one. They are $6.75. But in these days were my husband is not work full weeks. Money is getting tight. But I have alot of large cone threads that I use on my serger machine. I was thinking that just maybe I might be able to use some of that thread on my machine. Thanks for always being there for me. Even through these last few weeks I have not been able to come to the community part of the great site. But know I am always stopping in to check for new designs.

I have not used the king kones but good luck whatever u decide brenda *

My goodness Brenda Lea, you have been VERY busy! I bought a thread stand for about $7.00. It is worth the money! I use it constantly because a lot of my thread is on large cones. It is great with the 1000M cones,too. The only time I use the thread holder on my machine is when I'm using the small spools of Sulky or Maderia thread. Good luck to you...Barb

I have a black stand that goes behind my machine, but the king kone is differant. the one that goes behind does not feed the thread even. got any ideas? Brenda *4U

I bought one on ebay and I sit it right behind my machines and then thread as usual and it works great. I also found a lady on ebay selling those huge thread cones (5000m) and they run about $2 a piece. Don't know if i'll live long enough to use them all. But would be lost without my thread stand. No DH did make me one stuck a piece of dowel rod into a piece of 2x4 - worked great but didn't have the hook on the top to help keep feeding the thread. Anyway good luck.

what is the ladies name on e-bay? I get most all my thread from e-bay, but I do get my serger thread from Joanns when on sale. not to many colors lo. Thanks, brenda *4U

Brenda, if you are asking about using the large cones on your home machine, YES. I do it all the time. I am employed in an embroidery shop and can get thread thru my employer at her cost. Just got 8 5000yd cones at $3.99 each. I have a homemade threadstand that works great with these large cones. It is made from scrap wood. There is a picture wayyyy back in the projects section. I'll see if I can find it and bring it forward for you.
You been busy girl. Now take the time to enjoy those grandbabies.

Marji, yes, productive is the word, I have made so much that I running out of places to put it. better get back to work.
thanks, Brenda Lea *4U

I buy the 3000 yd serger cones from Joanns on sale for $1 it is the cheapest thread they have and the only thread I can afford lol. I did have to buy a thread stand for them. On sale it was under $5.
I have used the thread with no problems and it works really well with FSL. BTW Joanns has thread on sale this weekend Veterans Day sale for 50% off, thread sets not included. Plus a 10% coupon off the total purchase including sale items!
