Thread stand...on the cheap
I need a thread stand. I have an embroidery machine, and I have more cones of thread than should be legal, not to mention the spools I also have. The spools are OK...I can mount them on the machine properly. But the large cones are hard to deal with. I've seen thread stands before, but I've never gotten around to getting one. Well, we finally have a piece of wire in the house that is perfect for it, and I'm going to make one out of it. BUT. If I didn't have that piece of wire? Here is what I would do.

This gal made a thread stand out of a CD spindle and a wire clotheshanger. Sheer brilliance.
