all the time, more than you think. I try to start it with a point of a seam ripper, I also keep a nail file by the machine, to smooth down any rough spots on the top of the spool. now I try to start it at the store b4 I buy it.

I slip a straight pin under a likely candidate and kind of walk it around the spool to see if it close to the end or heading deeper into the spool. At this point since you have snipped, I would just lift a thread on the top layer of the spool and start pulling off all the whole top layer.

I often have trouble finding the end, but the trick is not to start snipping the thread because then you'll wind up with a mess. I do what Tartan does, but usually with a needle rather than a seam ripper. And first I put on my glasses and take a good look to see if I can figure it out.
