Grace Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 I recently watched Myrna\'s new DVD and noticed her thread cone was located at the front of the machine. Mine is at the back. Does it make a difference in the tension where the thread cone is actually placed? Also, where did the extra cone holder come from, and how was it attached? Thanks for any info you girls/guys can offer. PS The DVD was really great, but the location of the cone really got my attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Beth Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 I don\'t think it makes a difference on the tension. I\'m guessing the thread holder you are talking about is the Hartley Spool Holder that is mounted on the front of the machine so that when you work from the front you are not running back a forth to mess with thread. If you want one you could order from APQS or I bet Myrna could hook you up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltmonkey Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Mary answered your question! But I also wanted to add that Myrna\'s spool holder that is mounted on the front of her machine is an accessory -- not a standard build. If you would like to purchase this accessory (as I have done) and attach it ot the front of your machine, you can order them through Myrna or even here... directly on the APQS web site ... they sell all sorts of accessories.

Myrna Ficken Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 You girls are funny, they are correct they are Hartley Cone and spool holders. Mounted buy heavy duty double stick tape. I put it towards the front for easy of changing threads. Yes you can order form me or APQS. Hope you like the DVD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sams Mom Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Steps saved by using a spool holder mounted near the front of the machine....... Priceless. (Steps saved may be made up walking the dog if necessary). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juliagraves Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 My husband fixed me up something on the front of the machine by bending a coat hangar into a loop and attaching it to the screws on the front of the machine. The cone sits on the post where the laser would attach. The thread started to wear a groove in the the wire hangar, so I took a binder clip and clipped it onto the loop of coat hangar and the thread goes through the silver part of the clip where you would squeeze to open it. I would attach a picture if I knew how. This was a free solution and it works just fine. Julia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melora Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Julia, could you post a pic of your husband spool holder. I would love to see how he did it and then maybe try doing it. Thanks, Melora Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
