What I do with BIG thread spools - tiny tip

 


I have been working on some projects for Christmas, and in the course of that, I needed some 100% cotton thread.  The only kind I could find came in a large spool.  That won't work on the spool pin on a normal sewing machine, so you can see what I did here.  I put a rigid (in this case aluminum) drinking straw onto the spool pin, and then am able to put the large spool of thread on there and use it normally.  I realize there are special thread stands you can buy for this, but at least in this instance, it wasn't necessary. 

(Pay no attention to my messy desk, please.)
