I cannot use this thread on all of my machines. I love the thread and use it on my old Singer 401 and one of my Kenmores.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I believe the problem is that the core of the thread is slightly larger than the spindle on my machine and I don't know if there's a anything I can put on the spindle to make the cone more stable. In any event I will try some of the other suggestions.
Good Luck! |

I recently bought some of Connecting Thread's thread and like it but I am finding that there is a little wobble that occurs on the spindle and I believe it is affecting the quality of the stitches. Does anyone know what I can do to stabilize the spool?

I am always on the lookout for cylindrical shaped objects that I can adapt to use with different sized thread spool holes. I have used old pen shells that I've cut down , I have straws wound with tape ...my favorite by far is a dritz thread holder that I took apart and repurposed..

The spindle is suppose to be thinner then the spool core. It could be wobbly because the spindle is shorter then the spool or the thread is being jerked by the needle. This shouldn't cause any stitch problem though. The tension should take care of any slack. I use the Superior thread stand for all spools and cones. The stand will hold spools horizontal or vertical. It has never tipped over which makes it a great stand in my opinion.

Thanks so much for all the suggestions. I tried McD' s straw and it worked - the stitches are perfect.
