Does anybody know what left twist thread is? Is it anything special or different than "regular" thread?
I thought this was a nice, happy, helpful place to be. :(
Sometimes threads go through the machine better when they feed from the spool from one side. But this only requires turning the spool around on the spool pin. I have found that cheap (several for $1) threads are harder to work with as they are irregular in diameter. If you look closely at a thread - sometimes you can even feel it - you can see that it will vary in width. It might be very slight, but it does affect the way you machine works. be sure to get good quality thread.
