have I ever encountered a KNOT in the YLI quilting thread I was using.....until a few minutes ago. I was merrily quilting along when my machine started making awful noises. I thought I had broken the walking foot or something. I'm looking around to see what the problem was when I noticed a KNOT keeping the thread from going through the needle. I was SHOCKED to say the least :!: :? Here is a pic of the thread I cut off the spool. Hope it shows. Should I write them a letter or e-mail them?

I think that is just the nature of thread. There has to be a beginning and an end to the thread somewhere. Usually the knot is so small it goes thru the needle and I never know it but sometimes It's too big.

Well, I just sent them an e-mail. We'll see what happens. I was just so amazed, never has happened to me before. I did get some of that fuzzy serger thread once that had a knot in it, but that goes through the loopers without problem. I certainly understand that the thread has to be knotted somewhere, but I don't expect it to happen to an $8 spool of thread. It should be added to the seconds pile. Nowadays manufacturers can find a flaw in a product by just weighing it. They would know how much a spool of thread will weigh and any fraction of variance from that weight will denote a flaw of some kind and should be pulled from the production line. If I was getting it for a reduced price, it would be a different matter.
