how to make horizontal thread holder?
Does anyone know how to make homemade horizontal thread holder? I saw a Superpor thread holder on sale at Nancy's notions for $20 + shipping. does anyone have this and does it work? Aslo I saw plastic spindles that looke like they clamp on the verticle spindle. ARe these good and do you like them? Ideas? Opinions? Thanks!
the reason I am asling is that I recently learned that thread that is cross wound such as cone thread should be used on a horizontal holder instead of a verticle one to allow the thread to feed easier. On my Brothers1500 i only have verticle holders so that is what I use with my cone thread. I have a problem with the needle coming unthreaded when using the cutter but not when using C&C poly thread that is not cross wound. I think the problem may be that the cone thread needs to be feed horizontally not vertically. When the cone is feed uprite there is some pull on the thread as it comes unwound from the spool. This tension/pulling could cause bad stitches and needle to be come unthreaded since the thread will spring back after the thread is cut.
