We have two options of thread stands, one with a plastic base, and another with a sturdier metal base. Both of our thread stands are reasonably priced and will be great for this application. Set your cone of thread on the floor behind your sewing machine and pull the thread off the cone and up over the back of a chair and then thread it into your machine.
Be the first to Write a Review. You can easily move it to ensure that it does not interrupt your sewing process. With a spool holder, you can easily and conveniently use a large spool on your sewing machine. Transferring thread from a large spool to a smaller is another way to do this.
This is a simple process that you can carry out before you sew. This method ensures that you can use your sewing machine as it is supposed to.
There will be no threads impeding your process. The only shortcoming in this method is that you will have to stop regularly to transfer thread to the smaller spool. Do this every time your small spool of the thread gets depleted. Also, you can place your small thread spool on your bobbin winder and roll some thread onto it.
Run the sewing machine, and the process continues automatically. Stop when your spool has enough thread. If you have a large working area, you can use your large spool of thread directly. Place your cone thread directly behind the head of your sewing machine. Feed the sewing machine by leading thread around the bobbin winder to the needle.
Run your sewing machine normally without breaks as you have a large spool connected directly. You can now complete a large sewing project without stops to replace depleted thread spools.
Large spools of thread save both time and money. You do not have to go into additional costs to buy a spool holder. It is possible to make one from the things you have in your house.
One of the easiest homemade spool holders is a mug from your kitchen. Pick a mug from your kitchen and put your spool in it. It will provide the required support to make sure that your spool does not fall as you sew. You can also use a wire to fashion a homemade spool holder. Make sure it has a part through which the thread passes as it connects to the sewing machine.

After that, start pulling gently from both ends. By doing that, you will be testing both the knot and the thread itself. You might not be aware of this, but the strength of a thread or a rope is reduced by half once you put a knot in it. Going back to our experiment here. If your thread breaks when you pull it, consider this day as its retirement day. If it resists your efforts, you can go ahead and start your new project without worrying about the thread!
It may be ten, twenty or even fifty years! Its shelf-life will depend on a number of different factors. It may discover a completely different color hiding underneath the first layer. Or, it might start breaking apart as soon as you start working with it. Well, little did you know that this is all because of a thread that has gone bad!
In fact, main symptoms of a thread gone bad can be faded coloring, brittleness, weakness, bleaching and disintegration. There are types of threads that will outlast your fabric! Some of these are threads made out of fluoropolymer and polytetrafluoroethylene. Both of these thread types come with a lifetime guarantee. In fact, they are completely resistant to UV rays, pollution, rain, cold, snow, and rot! And yes, they are way more expensive than other threads, too.
However, their performance benefits should outweigh the priceyness at any given time. Just think about it, they might cost you more upfront but there will be no need for restitching.
These threads are usually used for marine, outdoor and awning applications. In addition to that, they are slightly trickier to sew than a regular thread.
A great alternative to these two sturdy thread types is polyester. Polyester is pretty famous for its durability, strength, sturdiness and low shrinkage. And, polyester has proven to be quite resistant to UV rays, too! In addition to that, moisture will have little to no effect on it. However, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight will inevitably lead to weakening.
