It is cool .... I draw out what I want and he usually comes up with something better than what I had planned. God blessed me with him.
23265That is very nice. I always love it when my husband makes things for my sewing room.

oh I forgot to mention...you sure are lucky to have the best hubby around..a creative one too! It is very sweet of him to take an interest in your hobby and create such a useful and pratical notion for you...

Sure....Send it to me... He wants to finesse it just a little. The first one is always a quickie. I am usually frustrated with something or other and we come up with an idea. Then he does a quick job so that I can get back to crafting.
11259This is great! I had my Father make me a stand for one spool. I might have to see if he can do something like this for me!

I am sure he could...My dad bless his soul could make anything too.....And when he passed God blessed me with this wonderful husband of mine (who actually thinks like my dad) and now he makes all sorts of things for me. The bottom is about 12" or so and it is specifically for the smaller cones. Drill the holes and bend the wire and voila there it is.
17126great job ,would love to have some thing like this for the larger cones that do not fit in the machine.
hope u get ur machine back soo .*4u

It would be a bit more complex with larger cones and you would need more room. I only have a small space and that is why this worked so well for me. But I know it could be done with larger cones too.

He was a bit upset with me because I put a picture of this on....He said it wasn't good workmanship but I disagreed. All the coments of everyone is helping to lift his spirits though... Thank you all very much!

I told him you wanted to borrow him and he chuckled. This was just a quickie fix for me but he could probably come up with a nicer looking version .....hummmm

Thank you, I am very blessed to have him! Actually I am trying to find a service manual because the nearest repair is quite a distance and they aren't very nice either....so .....maybe ?
38135My son is good he can make any thing I draw him a picture and he makes it as long as I give sizes on it.we used to do lots of wood work I would draw pictures and he would make them and I would paint them

I do....much busier sometimes than he should be. We both like creating things. So we always get in over our heads sometimes....LOL
17161A very smart solution. Good luck on getting the machine fixed. It is terrible to be without it. That is why you should buy several machines:)

I am not happy with the repair shop that is the closest to me - I just found a service manual and bought it . Maybe it will help.
6187Good job. Luckily I also have a hubby that can do almost everything.

they are wonderful to have aren't they...sometimes he gets too many projects going at once though.
18960A very smart and crafty hubby you have, too. This is great - so sorry to hear about your machine - the service people are always so busy with machines - this time of year, too. *4U

Thanks Chris....We both love crafts and we work together. I told him what I wanted and we figured it out and he made it. This all started because I got angry with the prices at JoAnn Fabrics....LOL! They wanted $6.99 for a plastic based cone holder that only held 1 cone at a time!
I knew my hubby could come up with something.
God bless you too.
