    Using Bigger Spools of thread with a Husqvaran Designer SE

    I was wondering if any of you who has a Viking / Husqvarna Designer SE has info on how to use the larger spools of thread with your machine ?
    IF you have info, I would appreciate it. I just seen some of those HUGE spools of thread somewhere and this got me to thinking about using the bigger spools that the smaller ones I currently use. Please note, I am not talking about embroidery thread here....this is just plain sewing thread. I normally purchase Madeira Thread..... ( right now, I went to the local Jo-Ann's ( they have a Viking /Husqvarna Gallery inside Jo-Ann's ) to get some more plain white thread by this company and it's on back order, which made me think when I seen the larger spools of thread in a couple of photos here on the forum what is used to do this.

    Thanks so much !

    They have a thread rack for your machine, or you could get a single thread stand to sit next to your machine. 8-)

        Hi, I've got a HUS-Designer Ruby, and when I have bigger spools I place them on this pin(?? sorry, I don't know the correct english word for this thing) which is used to fill the bobbin.

          You can get a single thread stand which sits at the back of your machine to hold the bigger spools, I have one and find it invaluable. Most of my sewing thread for piecing are big spools.

                  DSC00885.jpgDH made me this multi spool stand with 1X1's, 4" lag bolts, big washers, and a screw driver holder. ($10.00 total).
                  As I have an embroidery machine, being able to line up all the colors I need for a design has been a time saver.

                    wow Racing Nana, I'd give your thread stand two thumbs up! Nice job.

                    In a pinch, I used my serger. It worked until I bought a thread stand. I turned it around and placed it behind my sewing machine. It helped out till I bought a thread stand.

                      That's exactly what I do with the large cones!!

                      it's best not to try to put it out with gasoline.

                        On the embroidery machine, if I have multiple color changes I put each spool in a baby food jar that fits into a wood silverware container by my machine. The wood rack will hold 15 baby food jars.

                            That doesn't look anything like what we call a Deely-Bob in this house . . .

                              I use the thread rack that fits on the diamonds. I use it for embroidery thread as well so I don't have to keep changing out one at a time.
