Cone thread - no stand
I'm staying with my DD for a couple of weeks and brought along some sewing. I use her machine but she has no cone stand for the thread I brought. Here's my solution. I thought others might find it useful in a pinch. It doesn't show in the picture but after it goes through the fork the thread goes around a spool pin. Then it threads as usual.

I did this when I went to visit my mom and had to use her sewing machine. Instead of a plastic fork I used a safety pin but taped it exactly the same place, then ran the thread through the circle part that is at the bottom of most safety pins. Can also be done with a paperclip.
