This is JUST SILLY!

My cone of thread I was using yesterday was too big for my handy-dandy trusty Admirals mug that I use to 'keep' my piecing thread. 

So I placed it on my ticket stabber and behind my machine...it didn't want to come off the cone smoothly.

Next, I placed it on my plastic cabinet which is lower than my sewing table...still not smooth.

Next lower place? You guesses it! THE FLOOR. This is JUST SILLY but it worked. I had heard the farther the thread path the smoother the thread rolls off the cone...TRUE!

It just struck me as silly!
