I always make sure that the notch is at the bottom of any of my threads on the machine.,I'm hooked on another brand now ,though,Sewology by Hobby Lobby. About once a month ,they have buy 1 get one free, that's when I stock up.

I bought some C & C thread recently & it didn't have notches for securing the thread. The spool I bought had the slit all around the spool so you can slip the thread in that & spin it around to secure (don't know exactly how to describe it). However, when they make the spool, the outer edge of the spool is rough (both ends) so I had to file that down in order for my thread not to hang up on it. I think I will contact C & C & see if they can make a smoother spool.

The new version of C&C does have the different spools now. The older version is still sold at Walmart and I think the only place it is sold as Walmart insisted on the cheaper version. Some Walmarts have switched to Guttermann thread.

My machine manual says to use thread cap closest to size of thread spool, but I'll try a larger cap. Thanks for the suggestion!
