Has anyone here used this? I'm looking for a cone adapter to fit on my
machine so I can use the cone thread. It is a lot cheaper buying a bigger
quantity then just 500 yds on a spool.

I have a Berina 730 and wondered if this would fit my machine and how well
it works.

Thanks,
Annie

I have looked at the Deelybob products, but I prefer a good cone thread
stand. <G> Then I can use a horizontal spool adapter for metallics and
some other threads and have a lot fewer problems with any thread. <VVBG>
With the cone thread stand, I can use any thread, spool or cone or mini
cone. Wonderful, and I don't have to worry about it fitting my machine.
<G> I even have one to carry with my "travel" machine.

I'm with you on that one, Pati. I find that every thread I use works
better on the cone stand than on either of the options on my sewing
machine. I hardly ever use anything but the cone stand now.

I agree. I usually forget that it's possible to put the thread ON the
machine. I pack the cone stand for classes too. I think I have three of
them. One doesn't have a weighted base, one does (my favorite) and another
one has a telescoping center pin to put the thread on. It's supposed to
help with threads that want to twist.....though I'm not sure it does.
Speaking of.....I have used two complete spools of metallic thread for my
little favor boxes. No problems using the metallic thread once I put my top
tension down below a setting of 1. No problems at all. I ran out of
thread, so I ordered more of the Wonderfil (the other spool was Yenmet) that
worked so well. Wouldn't you know it??? This spool is twisting and
knotting as it comes off the cone thread holder. I have not changed
anything except the thread. Rats. I have it going through three different
"loops" to see if I can get the twist out before it gets to the machine. Oh
bother!

I taped a large safety pin to the side of my machine with the "hole" in
the end pointing up and away from the machine. My big spool of thread
sits in a heavy glass sitting beside my machine and is threaded thru the
hole. The glass is not critical but helps prevent things from jamming
up against the thread spool (my sewing table is pretty crowded!).
