Uwe Report post Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) Here's my sewing machine related Ikea hack for the day. I've been using the $10 Ikea Jansjo LED lights on my sewing machines and had the weighted bases left over. I had also ordered some threaded 1" plastic balls on Amazon, which turn out to be super useful for a whole bunch of things. The weighted base makes it stay put, the ball holds the 4 oz. spool in place so it doesn't go bouncing about when it gets light toward the end and also makes sure the thread doesn't snag as it unwinds. The wire is stainless steel welding wire. A coat hanger would probably work, too, but that's not my style, haha. Hopefully the pictures tell some of the story.
