Default What the heck?? Thread nests....

Using my avatar, a German Kenmore.

I am sewing along, just fine. Stitches look good. Then I hear a click and there is a thread nest underneath. I can just keep on sewing though, I don't need to stop and fix anything. This seems to happen every few feet.

What the heck? Can a tension problem "build up" and do like a release thing every few feet? I can't understand this.

Some background. I've just begun using large spools of thread and have rigged up a contraption (thanks to hints from QB members) where the large spool sits to the right of my machine. I am guessing somehow that had changed things but I'm not sure what to try and fix first.

Thanks for all help.
