How can I fit this spool on my DSM?
I use my icon, a 1958 Kenmore. It has a regular old fashioned metal pin to hold spools of thread. How can I use these types of spools? Thanks.

I would suggest you get one of the heavy duty thread holders that sit behind or to the side of the machine.

Here's what works for me with cones and oversized spools. I put an eye screw in an empty spool of thread and put it on the pin. I then put the cone or oversized spool in a cup behind the machine and run the thread through the eye.
I find it works better than the cone holders with the high thread arm for me.

Yes, coffee mug or glass tumbler. Something where the spool is totally inside the vessel and it's heavy enough not to tip. Place it behind your machine to the right, bring thread up to machine and thread like usual. YOu might need an additional guide (large paperclip taped to your machine).

Back in 2012 this was posted with pictures by Blackberry. Maybe it will help you.
