Do you put the little white disk over the spool to hold it on? Also with Coats N Clark be sure the side of the spool that has the notch in it is facing down to the bottom of the spool holder.

And I'm talking about the new spools that do NOT have a notch. |

You can get a thread net. Goes over the spool in use to keep the thread from flying off the spool.

I use the white disk holder-on-er thingy that came with machine and the spool stays put. There is probably some technical name for the thing!

Lol my disks are orange, but I agree - use a disk. Here's what it looks like, before and after.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]314804[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]314805[/ATTACH] How does that stop the thread from falling off the BOTTOM? I'm talking about the new spools that have almost NO shoulder. Surely, I'm not the only one who is using the new spools. |

I've never heard of a thread net before. Just did a search and I see...you can leave it on while sewing? Don't want to sound silly, but where should the thread come out?
they work wonders with a horizontal spool shaft---------a must have if you're working with invisible thread. You push the net thru the center, bring it up around the spool like slipping on a sock. Put the spool on the horizontal shaft with the open ends to the left. Work wonders However, if you have a vertical shaft like I do, the thread sock/net whatever won't work. |

The net holds the thread close to the spool and it comes off the top. I'm not sure this would work for those spools that have the slit on the edge.

I’m not sure everyone caught the part about “vertical thread holder”. On most sewing machines equipped with a vertical spool pin, the thread feeds off of the side of the spool. Also, I take “new Coats and Clarks thread spools” to mean the Coats XP line on new spools that no longer have the notch in the rim.
If you’re not using a felt pad under your spool, try one and see if it helps. They’re meant to limit the amount of “free-wheeling” that the spool can do when more thread is called for by the mechanism. CD in Oklahoma Thank you for reading my post. Yes, vertical. I don't see how that would stop the tread from slipping off the almost non existent shoulder, but it's worth a try. I can't get any more frustrated than I am now. |
