Nancy,

I'm going to try to answer this. Thread that needs to reel off horizontally means it needs to come off over the end cap of the spool no matter what position the spool is in. if the spool is on a horizontal pin it comes off of the end correctly. If it is on a vertical spool pin then it is being pulled off of the side of the spool. If the spool is a cone pulling from the side will result in the thread tension changing as you sew. I have attached 2 pictures of the gadget that I make to allow me to use cones (and other threads that need to reel off of the end of the spool) behind the machine. The cup that holds the cone must be positioned directly under the eyelet. Simply made from a suction cup, a chop stick and two tiny binder clips.

Again, I ask is this clearer than mud?, Cathy

[QUOTE=BoJangles;4984187 Candace how do you get the metallic to come off the spool horizontally? I have several of those thread guides that sit behind the machine, but nothing that would cause the thread to come off horizontally? Nancy[/QUOTE]
