ABSTRACT:
A thread feeding device for use with multiple needles of a sewing machine wherein the thread feeding device includes an array of guide channels which have first openings at one end for receiving threads from supply spools and second openings at the remaining end for dispensing the threads to a sewing machine. A support plate provides a base for attachment of the guide channels above the sewing machine with the second openings oriented toward the user. The thread feeding device includes a strip of hook and loop fasteners such as VELCRO.TM., spring element or other member for retaining ends of the threads exiting the second opening such that the threads remain accessible for ready grasp of the user. Also disclosed is a method of feeding thread to a sewing machine, including the step of affixing loose ends of the threads at the VELCRO.TM., spring member or other retaining means for holding the loose end against movement and preventing the threads from sliding back through the guide channels, even during transport of the thread and spool assembly.
