Essential Thread

Essential Thread
I did a search and couldn't find what I needed to know. I have used Essential thread horizontally in my machine but recently had my bobbin making a rattling noise and the top thread snagging once in awhile. the bobbin wasn't Essential. I finally changed bobbins, filled again with the same thread i'd been using and removed the almost empty Essential spool and put a different brand on. no more rattling.
should Essential threads be used vertically at all? I know there is a rule about the different ways thread is wound. ????????

I've never had a problem either way. I've heard you should always use the same thread in the top and bobbin and that's what I do. I know sometimes you can get by not doing this but I figure why chance it. I like things simple and this helps it be that way.

Experiment with different threads. Just make sure that dent isn't catching threads.

According to Superior Threads, you should put all spools on the machine vertically. Sometimes it won't matter, but putting it on horizontally adds an extra twist to the thread as it comes off the spool and that can cause breakage.

Cones should also be vertical on a thread stand according to this, but they unwind from the top.
