What you might not know about your threads

You can flick back the base of these mini cones, wind your thread round the base,
and flick it back up. This holds the thread securely and means you don't get a tangle of thread.

On these spools you can pull the base down (or even off), wind the thread round and push it back up again.

Not quite as secure as the first thread but it does the job just as well.
