Do You Have A Felt Disc On Your Spindle

Do You Have A Felt Disc On Your Spindle
I've searched and searched the internet to find out the purpose of the felt disc that fits on the spindle under the thread spool.
I was having a discussion with someone at the quilt store and she said it's very necessary so the the thread feeds properly off the spool? I don't currently have one under my spindle and now I'm wondering if it's truly necessary???
I have two Husquvarna Viking machines a #1 and #1+ and don't remember them coming with that felt pad.
I'm sure someone here will know. :0)

Don't know but the machines that I have that do have the felt are Featherweights and only have vertical spool pins. My Vikings have both Vertical And horizontal but thinking again my Bernina is vertical without the felt.....hum good question

This is definitely true! I have a 30's Singer I rescued from a thrift shop; it's in terrible shape and one of its (many) problems is a little half-moon worn into the finish where the thread spool spun for who-knows-how-many years!
