Thanks for all of your help. I will try them and see what I can do. I don't know what I would do without the board and all of you wonderful quilters (can't say just ladies).

I am so thankful for all the help that you all gave me. THEY WORKED! I am so excited. (Yes I know it doesn't take much to excite me). I loosened the tension and put the spool in a cup and applied the safety pin to the machine. There are no more loops and skipped stitches and the thread doesn't break anymore! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I have heard that they are not really good to use in quilts you will be using. It's best to use monofilament in wall hangings.
