I have a H Viking Sapphire 830 machine.
I dont use the cheaper thread without the pop up top like you get at Walmart.

this is good info. I have a serger, and sombody? TY, was saying that colors are not as plentiful, they're right, and maybe I could get serger size cones of all cotton online, but not in stores.
anywho, gonna start using the smaller spools on serger, cause they are less expensive and I don't use the serger as much, unless making a garment or tote or something. kids love it though. wheeee! :D

Hi winia
I am the one to post about the Spool Tool. You are right I have looked for an hour now and can't find anything no matter what I key in. I orderd it from Clotilda about 3 or so yrs. ago. You can email clotilda at clotilda.com and go to customer service to see if they still sell it. I looked on their site and couldn't find it but that doesn't mean they still don't sell it. Their phone # is 800-772-2891. Or you could write or call the company that makes it.
The item is called Spool Tool
The company name is Master Piece
10481 N.W. 107TH Avenue.

I hope this is helpful.

Coats and Clarks new spools have a top that lifts up and the thread start is under it. When done sewing just slip the end under the top to keep it from unwinding.
These are just regular looking spools not the cone type.

Check out this popular quilter's thoughts about serger thread. ( I think Bonnie Hunter has the best quilt website on the web)

I use a tread stand for cone thread. It's very heavy and wont' tip over. The plastic ones are not worth messing with.
