This is something that I have to show you all....I was looking at the Clotilde catalog and found a "Cone Thread Stand" My machine will only use the regular spools of thread. So I was debating on ordering it. I knew that it would be cheaper for me to use the cones. But with shipping it would have cost me around $14. Now not that I didn't have $14 but I am very cheap and I was trying to think of something else to use for this purpose. So I was telling Richard about it and showed him the catalog. He said "Just order it" but I didn't. I told him if he really loved me he would make me something to use. I said that it just had to have a heavy bottom and I wanted him to be creative....So this is what I got...He found a ROCK that was fairly flat but still had to grind it flatter. Took a piece of scrap wood from the sawmill and sanded it down round, added a piece of wire and it was done...
See I knew I loved this man for some reason! I tried it out and it works perfectly. So in the end I saved $14 and this one means more to me...Kristie

How cool is that!!!! I make my own too, out of wooden paper towel holders. I just add a cup hook to the side, of one of those twirly things that hold a pen to the top. Old cup tree holders work great too! Also those cheap plastic paper towel holders with a hold drilled through the top work good. Yours is so unique though! Who'd a thunk of a rock? Yours wins the prize!
That's not cheap, that's perfect!! Besides, mine is plastic and falls all the time. My mom has a super heavy one. Yours is awesome! If he's ever bored, can he find me a semi flat rock? =)
You know...I think you should take that with you to show off at guild!
That is so awesome. I like that one much better than the one I have . Your's is more personal. Way to go Richard. I think he should go into the business.
That conestand lookes awesome. I have a metal one I absolutely couldn't live without, until I got my 6600 and now I let Paul's mom use it with her machine. Richard is so creative.
Now that's a spool holder! Isn't it wonderful to have someone who can make what you need? And your holder is a one of a kind!
