My machine brand isn't trashed on the forum, it just isn't good enough to be mentioned I guess. However I've used the same brand for 50 years and have always been happy with it. At least I could afford it when I bought it! :-)
:-D

I have the same problem..I use a dryer sheet and it helps. Just run it along the thread before or after you thread your needle. I keep it handy to redo as I sew.Sometimes it takes two or three time, but to me its worth the extra effort....Good luck.
I have always found this a nice place to look for very inspiring ideas. I DO sometimes "borrow" your ideas I find here. Thanks to all for them. I may get gutsy one day and post a few pics myself...lol

Thanks again. And yes, I think that whatever machine makes US happy is the best machine for us. Unless we ASK for someone's opinion, that opinion should be kept quiet. Some people just feel free to give their opinion on everything.

I thought about this thread last night when I was doing some hand sewing. I pay close attention that I thread the needle from the piece of thread that comes off the spool - not the cut end. To make sure I don't get them confused, I try not to cut the thread until the needle is threaded. If you thread the needle with the end that is cut, the twist of the thread goes against its natural flow and you will find more knots and breakage.
