Tammi,
The smoothest best stitching thread I ever used was a spool of unidentified stuff that had become soaked with machine oil in the accessories box. Apparently the cap came off the oil bottle and everything in the box was soaked.
It had happened long enough ago that nothing was really wet, just well lubed. That is the best spool of thread I've ever used.
CD,
Arizona is where I spent most of my life. Fabric, carpet, and thread can and did acquire a lot of static electricity in the really dry months. Especially in air conditioned buildings. I noticed static cling with fabrics a lot then.
I wonder if this static cling might affect thread as it passes through the metal guides?
Joe
