I am sorry but I can't help you with your problem. However, I would love to know where to get the pattern for the quilt you have on our profile. I love it.

Glass jar works too

I have NEVER had any trouble doing it this way and I pretty much do ALL my piecing this way!
I would take a picture but my camera battery died at the baseball game last night and I am to lazy to charge it right this moment! lol |

I use essential thread, if your thread holder is vertical you can put a straw on your thread holder, cut it a little longer. The thread spool will fit on the straw with room to spare.and this has worked for me .

You can get a metal thread hold in keepsake quilters book.
they work great. You just put thread on it , the holder will set to right of your machine. Then you thread your machine and go.You can also go to ebay in but in thread stand and get one there ? :thumbup: |
The coffee cup works but if it's still not feeding into your machine properly tape a paper clip to the back of you machine and feed the thread through that. Had to do for my Brother and it worked great.
