If you’re not using a felt pad under your spool, try one and see if it helps. They’re meant to limit the amount of “free-wheeling” that the spool can do when more thread is called for by the mechanism.

Thank you for reading my post. Yes, vertical. I don't see how that would stop the tread from slipping off the almost non existent shoulder, but it's worth a try. I can't get any more frustrated than I am now.
