I haven't experienced this problem.
Is your cone sitting even with the sewing machine bed like mine? My thread comes out of the center of the cone and pretty much straight up into the hole in an outrigger (basically a rod with a hole in one end that fits over the spool pin, and a hole in the other end through which the thread is run). This is all before the thread enters the regular threading path on top of the machine. If you are not using an outrigger or a cone thread holder, both of which basically hold the thread up in the air above the cone before it threads into the machine, that might be the cause of your problem.
