This is great! Very easy to understand Instructable. I'll be making one of these tomorrow. I was surfing to find one and thought they were too expensive, so glad I found your instructable!

Awesome! I knew there was a way of making these rather than spending money on them!

Why not just drill a hole to stick the hanger in? Why bend and staple it?

I don't know... Maybe it just felt more stable to me? You are welcome to make anyway you think works best.

Thanks for the instructable, I think I will be making this! Off topic, but I believe that I have that same sewing machine, only it is branded Morse.

thank you! I have one of those, a class 15 clone am I right? It is a wonderful machine!

This is a great idea, very useful. Your instructions are clear and seem easy to do. I am going to try this. Thanks for sharing.

Setting up to sew a bunch of stuff to sell at an anime convention, was getting pretty ticked about how quick we go through spools, and I found a big cone of thread in the shop, but no way of getting it to work on our machines. So I googled. And here I hit. And it works PERFECTLY! Excellent Instructable!

I'm glad someone found this, and was able to use it. Thanks for letting me know!

That sewing machine is such a beauty. Metal <3. Wonderful idea. So useful :D

[musicalbee2003]

Yeah, thats my mother's baby. An old electric. She converted it to a treadle and made the table herself.

[Dalya]

Wow Haha :D That thing must weight a ton!!

[musicalbee2003]

Yeah, but it's not meant to be moved. My sister's hand crank, on the other hand...

[BDMama]

Thanks Dear. It works great!
