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.

A 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

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.

A 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:)

This kind of things don't need to be fancy as long as it works for you it is okay and your hubby did a great job on it.

This is very PRACTICE! As for your machine, this is really bad before Christmas. But perhaps nity repair your husband that?!? You are a lucky woman.

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 ?

You are truly blessed to have such a handy husband. It's wonderful to have an idea & have your husband make it into a helpful item. I trust you'll have your machine back good as new & soon. God's blessings to you both.:^D

Maybe he can finesse it and they would sell it for him...Worth a try at least....Hummmmmmm.....Honey.....
by angel777th 11 Nov 2009
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!

great 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.

This 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.

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...
by angel777th 14 Nov 2009
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.
