I know this is almost 2 years old, but I needed this solution now! With everyone on lockdown, and sewing supplies hard to come by, I was delighted to find your quick solution to my problem. I had no idea how I was going to do a decorative stitch in contrasting thread on a job for a client, since cones were all I had to work wtih. Presto - one Mason jar, a scrap of felt and a glue gun and I'm ready to rock! Thanks so much - even though mine isn't as pretty, it's just what I needed, and custom sized for my set up too! Thank you!
After watching many diy videos on this, your holder is the best! The others were quick but didn't have an arm and I know that is hugely important. Thank you so much for such a satisfying project! I'll remember to come here first next time I have a sewing diy :)
I just made this from a candle lantern and a wire hanger. Works better than other solutions I’ve tried because the thread angle is just right and the machine doesn’t have to spin the cone! Finally, a genuinely useful project. Takes no money and saves on thread!!!
I literally just followed your advice and now have a lovely use for an old candle base I've been hanging on to (for no reason-or so I thought!) Many thanks for this top tip!
Love your idea because the heavy metal spoolholder that I purchased a few years ago was expensive in may opinion. I'm going to make a couple of these for my other machines. Thanks for the tip.
It's 2023 and I have invested in some cone spool threads so this is a very timely video for me. I just made this and it works beautifully. Thank you, Laura.
Already use a candle holder to hold a large spools of thread but I never thought of a hooks to gradually thread to your machine thank you that was so helpful.
This is great! I recently started buying the large cone spools for my projects because of the value, and was just using a cup but it wasn't the best due to not having the hanger portion you've made. This will make what I already have so much better! I was about to look into buying on, but I'm glad I looked and found you first.
Laura you are amazing. I made one using a Maccona jar which I decoupaged with beautiful floral tissue. It looks way prettier than the expensive metal stands and works perfectly. Thank you so much for the idea xx
This is brilliant. I have a very lovely candle holder I got for my wedding over 20 years ago that I don't use for candles anymore that would be perfect for a thread holder. Thank you for the wonderful tips!
What Great timing, Laura, to see your tip pop up as I just purchased my first overlock-size spool at Lidls for $1.69. You’re so creative placing in a pretty holder. Thank you for helping us in the sewing room 😊. joannefromvirginia
I would like to thank you for the awesome, cost saving, idea!!! I made one from your inspiration. Hot glued a pill bottle cap into an ornate glass cup. Cut the wire as directed, used 4 rubber bands to hold the wire in place, then hot glued the wire. It’s not as pretty as yours, but took me five minutes and NO cost. THANKS!!!!
Thank you Laura! This is just what I was looking online to buy but much better. I looked around my stash and had it made in about 10 minutes for free! You explained everything so clearly, love this idea!
Your sewing room is beautiful and just what I need. Hey dont we all? I think I can comandeer a spare bedroom with a bright window. I will be making your fabulous spool holder this weekend. YAY! I had no idea it could just set in a container and be fed using the wire. Lets keep sewing. Ive made 150 masks already and the need is great. But your wire tutorial was just what I needed! Its what we all need! YAY! We will see a victory. Thats for sure. Very helpful. Robin in NC
This came right on time! I was searching for a thread cone stand on Amazon and then thought, I'll bet there is a DIY version on youtube. I was already subscribed to your channel and low and behold, you uploaded this video on the same day I am searching! I made mine and saved about $10.00. Thank you, Laura! P.S. Love your videos!
Wow that worked out beautifully for you! I just subscribed and will be making this tomorrow. Amazing and so easy! And I love her sewing room. Robin in NC
Absolutely wonderful ! I bought a vintage Singer sewing machine from a thrift store that had a missing spool pin. I've watched many videos trying to find an easy solution. You have solved my problem! Thank you!
This is great, thank you so much for the tutorial! I have been needing one of these forever and now I don't have to purchase one - which makes it perfect :)
My first comment was the engineer in me, after watching the full video...big smiles, you girls drive the world, thank you and goose bumps and teary-eyed. Just thank you, there are some of us who "get it".
All of my hangers but one are the big plastic ones. I had one chance to get it right and I did. :) Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. I didn't even search this topic it just showed up in the suggested videos and boy am I glad, because when my cone of thread came in a couple of weeks ago I had to hand-wind the thread from the cone to the spool. I just really thought when it came to this issue that it was either buy one or do without. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you for this informative, easy method for making a thread holder. I need to make one for my old (1965) Singer zig-zag. I may want to insert a twin needle and will need an extra thread holder for the small spool of thread. I'll give it a try.
Thank you for this clever idea .I've been looking for something like this to make my big spools use able with my sewing machine. Until I saw this, I've been using bobbins.
Dear Laura , U are so Clever! Thanks a Lot for sharing your Knowledge in making this Tall Spool Stand . I will Surely try this idea of yours ! Please share more of your craft ideas.Bye ! & Tc .
Thank you for this. I've learned quite a bit from yourvideos/tutorials. You are a very well spoken and beautiful woman. Blessings from bonnie Scotland.
that is a great idea with the hanger, small spools don't last much and they end up being expensive, I did buy a larger one but I never used it because it is too big for my machine. I have to try this, seems like the perfect idea, thank you for sharing and regards from Italy
I do appreciate your advice and help with making a "Big Cone" thread holder. I've been wondering how to do that. I've also been wondering how they actually work with your sewing machine. I WAS kinda scared to even buy one ... now, I still don't wanna buy one - I wanna MAKE my own. I'm a bit of a multi - craft person, and, I'll prob be making many of these homemade large cone holders even if all I'd really need is one of 'em. I like having spares of things like this so if one should ever break on me or mess up, I'll have another one on stand - by. TYSM for sharing this video with us .
Great idea! I already had a serger thread holder that I bought many years ago but my thread wasn't stable on it when I was using my sewing machine. I screwed it to a piece of wood and now it's perfect!

I just discovered this myself as well. I am so buoyed.
GENIUS!!! Thank you. Many of the thread stands for purchase are very expensive and no where nearly as whimsically sweet as your idea, Laura. Love it 👏
I see this is an ancient video tutorial. I still wanted you to know you are still helping people in an amazing way! Thank you sooo much.
I am so happy you showed me how to make one of these. Thank you

This was so very helpful!! I thought I had wasted money but this saved me!!
You're the best! It is very easy to hear everything you say, and love all the tips.
Absolutely love this tip!!! Thanks for sharing Laura!
What a great idea! I like yours so much better than one that can be bought. So much prettier! Thank you Laura!
Ha ! What a super tip Laura, more fun than going to buy one ! I will just go and look around..... thanks for sharing.
I literally just followed your advice and now have a lovely use for an old candle base I've been hanging on to (for no reason-or so I thought!) Many thanks for this top tip!

Thanks, I just got a Chinese patcher for christmas, and rather than buy another thread stand will use this design!
That’s fabulous and I love that you are repurposing an item from the home! Love it!!
Laura you are amazing. I made one using a Maccona jar which I decoupaged with beautiful floral tissue. It looks way prettier than the expensive metal stands and works perfectly. Thank you so much for the idea xx

My first comment was the engineer in me, after watching the full video...big smiles, you girls drive the world, thank you and goose bumps and teary-eyed. Just thank you, there are some of us who "get it".
I have got to do this! I use those smaller spools and run out way too soon on big projects. Thanks you so much for that awesome idea!!
Thanks Laura, I just use a fruit preserving bottle at the moment so looking forward to glaming it up.. jules from Australia

I made a crude spool holder based on your explanation. It's working well! Thank you from a sewing beginner on lockdown. =)

Really great idea! thank you!
