I recently purchased thread cones for my Babylock serger machine. A thread cone (shown on the left) is taller and bulkier than All-purpose spools and is not normally used on regular sewing machines because it tends to fall off the top and/or skews the tension.
To prevent this, I place the cone in a coffee mug in back of my sewing machine and thread the machine as I normally would. This holds the cone in place and allows the thread to unravel without tugging on the tension.
I like to store the cone and the bobbin together in the mug, so I don't have to search for the matching bobbin.
