Another related thing about thread is whether it is crosswound or "regularly" wound--I just found out not long ago that horizontal spool pins should use crosswound thread and that vertical spool pins should use regular-wound spools of thread (don't know what the right word is for the regular winding style). My machine has only a horizontal spool pin and I've tried to use only crosswound thread but sometimes it's hard to find in just the right color. Any opinions about this? I haven't been able to find a thread stand that's heavy enough to not move around or tip over yet. Any suggestions about this?
