Instead, respond to the thread on the WEBSITE by clicking here: http://www.amayausers.com/boards/ultimatebb.php?/topic/2/773.html#000005 I had some Madeira polyester threads in mini-cones from a tradeshow and the cones do not have bases. I saw on the web that the base is available at: http://www.thesewphisticatedstitcher.com/maspcadi.html. Hope this helps. Currently, I use a cone thread holder to keep thread from tangles at the base. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
