Old paint roller stuck in a base. JUust hacksawed it down to the right height and stuck it into a thick board. A liuttle crude, but it works!

One quilter suggested using a tapered pencil eraser. I just slip a piece of scrap foam or even a folder paper. The spool doesn't turn if it is set up in the right position behind your machine. Thread jst unwinds itself. Hope that helps.
