How is the spool wound?
You want to use a thread stand so the thread can un-wind without kinks. Make sure the stand is not near the hand-wheel of your machine.
I use a microtex 80/12. When I use a thread stand, I bring the thread through the bobbin winder guide on the top of the machine.

ETA: Yes, I agree, slow the machine down also.
