I have another question this morning. Is it ok to use one of those universal thread holders to make sure you have enough thread on hand. It doesn't mess up to sewing machine by altering the path of the thread does it.?
Thanks in advance

not at all i have used one for a year and everything is ok

I have used one and it was never a problem either :D:D:D

thank you so much

I have never used one, where do you get them.

If you put "universal thread holder" in your browser it will take you to different websites. E-Bay has them also
