Thread catching on edge of spool
There was a comment on a thread within the last couple of months about Presencia thread hanging up on the edge of the spool after it was about half empty, and I've had the same problem. I don't remember the subject of the thread and haven't been able to find it, but I thought whoever made the comment would like to know that I just got an order of Presencia 60-wt. thread and both ends of the spool are as smooth as a baby's bottom! I'm so pleased they fixed the problem -- it's really good thread.

I've had that problem and i change the size of the end cap that slides onto the spool holder to keep the spool in place. the smaller one i use with very skinny spools of thread, the larger cap I use with regular spools of thread. that way the thread glides over the cap and not the spool end itself. i too hate those slits in the spool ends that can catch thread.

caps like these are what i'm talking about

I have some of those caps and I've used them, but the thread still managed to catch on the Presencia spools til they changed the design.

I'm having the same problem with some of my Auriful thread spools! It's not the spool. For what I can see it seems to be how one end of the thread is wound when the spool is 3/4 empty.

use a finger nail file to smooth the edges.

Did that work for you? I tried that, but maybe I didn't file off enough.

Just flip the spool over so the slit is at the oposite end.
