So, thought I would share with you my secret to success! My mom did the same thing...and I know why now! I went to the store to buy some thread for the sewing machine... a little spool of thread...I don't remember how many yards were on it, but it was $1.94 and on the same rack were the serger threads... $1.94 for 3000 yards! Clearly...I want the best value for my 2 bucks! So, I got a small piece of wood from the scrap pile... as nice or not nice as you want Then get a wire coat hanger...hard to find these days, I know! The hanger has to be tall enough that the thread comes off the spool without binding up...so mine is 19 inches tall, 2 inch arm with a loop to keep the thread in place. Drill small hole for the hanger...and then hot glue it in there! Then hot glue your spool right onto the wood... I have 2 (black and white) When the spool runs out of thread, you can just stack another spool on top. And there you go! Easy, and saves you money from buying small ...
