Here is what I did. I saw this online looking for answers. I did have it in a cup. One article I read said to put an empty bobbin on the spindle and thread through there. I tried that. My machine does not like that stuff! I broke three needles and the bobbin made these horrible grinding noises. I thought I had broken my machine! I just quit! I posted another thread with pictures asking for suggestions since I just can't use that thread!
