I tried Connecting Threads but it did not like it.
C&C is cheaper also.
When I took my machine in for servicing I found out the plastic caps that sit on top of the thread, well Ive been using them upside down, the long end goes inside the thread spool. DUH.
Rose Marie----Don't feel alone. I have a Designer I. Got it used a couple of months ago. I have used those white caps both ways & still don't know which is right. Glad I found out. Really don't know what makes the dif. Seems to work fine either way. Oh, well, live and learn. Dad used to say you're never too old to learn if you're not too d___ dumb. LOL I think he was probably right.
