This site puts a cone into a cup, but every time the thread comes off the back of the cone, there would be an extra little tug on the thread.

The main reason I offered options is because some people are adamant about not buying more things / or thread stands in general. I have no idea why though, I typically will buy or make anything that makes my life easier or the end product better. It's just a bonus if I get both out of it.

Perfect! I jumped up from the computer, grabbed a cone, and headed to the "dead pill container" pile. Couple of questions, please.
Does the shape and length of the pill container matter? When I think about it, I think it might. Something running around in my mind about stabilizing the thread holding spindle on the machine. (Love my command of technical terms?) If it is held firm at the bottom of the cone/bottle combination and not at the top there would be vacillation? Yes? And if there was, did Jim do something inside the bottle to overcome that? Or am I being a worry wart? No appropriately sized empty bottle jumped at me when I hit the empty bottle stash. Gonna hafta keep hunting for that bottle with open eyes.
What size cones do you use? I have several different sized ones and occasionally have troubles with the my current set-up and vacillations. Thread is hung up and stopped and you know what happens then.
Thanks a million for your thread and picture and patience.
