I think you are right about the long arm. Also, I was told to put the cross wound on my Bernina lying down, left to right, which means that the thread would come off the top....in a weird way. Really, until I went to that class, I think I had been doing it wrong all my life with no problem. I know that my featherweight only has one thread spindle, so there is no choice. I really think that as long as it works for you, it doesn't matter...IMHO. I still think your idea is really awesome, I will have to hit my DH up for some of his used CS spindles. ;-)
