Sorry, one of us should have mentioned – you use cones with a cone stand or make up a substitute.
We made a substitute out of a plastic drinks bottle(minus the cap) with a hole cut in the side to put the cone in. You lead the thread out of the top of the bottle – it stops the cone jumping around and takes the thread higher up.
The traditional way of using a cone is to put it in a heavy jug or beer mug behind the machine, so it can’t roll around and just thread the machine normally.
