I have taken a one piece..ball point pen apart ..take the long piece put it over the metal thread holder..this works also..it is high enough for the thread..plus if u have a piece of felt..cut a circle that fits the thread bottom make a hole in the center..put on thread holder then the pen... then the thread..this will help if u think the stool is jiggling too much..to slow that down..mostly I just use the pen..

On cross-wound thread (like on cones) - don't you need the thread to feed from the top of the spool to avoid adding twists? A couple of these solutions have the thread feeding from the side like a straight-wound spool, but I was always taught that would cause the thread to twist and could cause breakage problems.

I saved the insert from a cone spool. It had an adapter in the spool so it would fit the metal pin. I use it on my 1970's Kenmore when using cone spools. I also have a larger one from another spool. I don't remember the name of the thread.
