For lack of a better description, I've called what was discussed on the thread
http://www.quiltingboard.com/vintage...s-t241446.html, the "thread mess."
I've struggled with it for some time. It comes and it goes. I take some action against it and it goes away . . . but then it comes back. I have now come up with another attempt to tame it. Previously, I have been using the alternate threading suggested by T and T Repairs,

I have added one little twist to this method of threading. And, so far, I haven't had any more thread mess. Here's a photo.

If anyone else has this problem, try threading your machine this way and report back here. I'd like to know if this works for others, or is it just a mirage that will dissolve away, like my hopes and dreams. (That's me being poetic.)
