emery board sounds good. i've taken the side of my scissor blade and scraped it smoother.

I use the emery boards too when I have a rough edge. :thumbup:

You can put glue on the slit to fill it up. That works.

I had a hard time too until I realized that the top pops up.

I simply put it on the vertical spool holder instead of the horizontal one. That's what they were made for.

I never use Coats and Clark. I use only Auriful on my Janome 6600. If you looked under a microscope at C&C you can see all the little spurs and imperfections. It will also clog up the bobbin.

I gave up and started buying Gutterman thread. It is more expensive but so is smashing your machine out of frustration. (That hasn't really happened but that is how I felt)

What? The tops pop up? I've been using the new spools since they came out and didn't know that, can't wait to get home to try it! :)

My two Juki TL98QE s come with a cap that fits on the spindle holding the spool and it is smooth and takes care of that problem.

I use it all the time and I clean out the bobbin area when putting in a full bobbin. Works great.
