I had some trouble with my 401A when I was using Cone thread. BUT I put a bobbin on the normal thread holder and feed the thread through that and a bent red paper clip. No more thread nests underneath. This solved my problem and Gilda has been running great ever since. She was my mother's and had not been taken good care of over the years. Hopefully you can see the setup I'm using. I have the cabinet but it needs some stabilizing parts to be safe.
