    Fabric Depot has these cone spools for $2.00 each (normally $6.00)...! I must have four spools of each color they presently offer.
    I think they had it on their on line site at one time.


    Check out their web site:

    I use it in my machine all the time. I really like it for FMQ as it doesn't seem to break all that miuch. I put it in the bobbin also and no problems and I buy it because regular spools of thread are not cheap around here and no place really to buy it unless I hike up to Joanns to get it. Have a great day, Huggies, Fay

    Do you just place the coffee mug on the table behind the machine? I have some serger thread and I have been wondering how I could use it.

    What I do dis put a small spool of thread inside the cone and it has worked very well for me. I keep that spool since it is empty and use it for an adaptor thing. Amazing how many great ideas a person can come up with that really work. Have a great day, Huggies, Fay
