Threading Tips and Hints

There are many threads on the market today developed for different purposes. The quality and structure of the thread
as well as the shape and size of the thread spool can affect the behavior of the thread. Threads can also behave
differently if the spool is full or nearly empty.
If experiencing problems, try the tips and hints below.
Note: Always test sew on a scrap piece of fabric to check the sewing result.
If the thread spool is pulled up on the spool pin
When the thread on the spool is running low, the thread
can snag on the edge of the spool and pull the spool up
on the spool pin. Place a spool cap on top of the thread
spool to keep it in place. Always use a spool cap slightly
larger than the thread spool to prevent the thread from
snagging. The flat side of the spool cap should be
pressed firmly against the spool. There should be no
space between the spool cap and the thread spool.
If the thread slides down on the standing thread spool
If the thread is of a quality that unwinds easily and
slides down on the standing thread spool it can get
caught under the thread spool around the spool pin and
break. Place the large spool holder on the spool pin with
the flat side up before placing the thread spool.
If the thread spool has the same diameter as the large
spool holder, place a thread net as illustrated from
below over the spool before placing it on the spool pin.
Note: To prevent snagging or increased thread tension on the
thread, the thread net should cover the lower part of the thread
spool only, not the top where the thread spool narrows.
