I use a cone holder to let the thread relax a bit before it gets to the machine. And I use a metalic needle with a large eye. Any help would be really appreciated.
The cone holder and letting it relax before it gets to the machine is the problem. You need to put invisible thread upright so it feeds off the side of the spool. When you feed it off the end of the cone it twists and it loosens the thread on the cone and lets it start pooling around the cone.
