@curious.handmade: This genius sewing hack has saved me so much money. 💷💵 Use thread cones (or spools) on a domestic machine with an easy homemade thread stand. Make sure it’s good quality thread (not serger cones as the thread is thinner). If you sew a lot it’s brilliant as you save money and aren’t changing the thread constantly. #sewingtips #sewinghack #learntosew #moneysavingtips #sewtok #sewingforyoupage #threadstand #sewingforbeginners
Now fix bobbins running out every 10 minutes please

Just be careful that you’re not using serger thread cones.

I’ve been taught they’re not the same kind of thread??? Is this all of a sudden no longer the case?

Only use good quality thread suitable for standard sewing machines, not overlocker thread as the quality is lower. Why put in all the work only to skimp on thread that literally holds it all together

for those saying "don't use serger cones", I highly recommend looking into your local "cleaner supply" or commercial vendor for 3000y+ thread spools 🥰🤩 tex 30-40 is more than fine in most cases. 🙏♥

Great tip for a table sew. I have even bigger reels. So huge they don’t wobble around. We just drop them on the floor behind the machine and thread up.

My machine really does not like this. It clogs up the bobbin compartment. I took it to the repair and they told me to just use the proper thread.

I wouldn’t use that type of thread unless it was for the overlocker.

I just set the cone on the floor behind my machine. It doesn’t tip over and it has no problem coming up to the machine. This seems like a lot of extra steps.

I transfer my cone thread on to a bobbin it fits on thread holder and works great just another idea 👍

Thank you for this hack. 🥰 I have a large box full of thread cones. I didn’t know how to wind them into sewing machine spools to use them.

This is such a good hack. Thanks for sharing. I used to put my thread spool in a jar but it would keep getting tangled.

What? This IS really genius and just what I've been looking for. I wanted to use these cones but was sad I couldn't! Thanks 💕

I got distracted by bulldog clip. I have never heard it called that! Lol. I call it a binder clip. Maybe a US thing? Anyway, great tip! I’m tired of all the tiny spools of thread. 😐

I secure a used thread spool in the cone and it fits the machine.

Or you could just stand the cotton on the table behind the machine?

I put a smaller spool onto my machine that will fit under the big one and then just set the big one on top of it. It holds it in place and does the job !

Thank you so much! I'm starting my sewing journey and was looking at the price difference of threads and was like, "There has to be a way to make this work."
