New to me also. I will need to make a note & put it where I well see it, to remind myself, until I get used to doing it this way. Old habits are hard to break. But, I don't want to mess up my machine. They are not cheap to fix or replace.
Thanks for sharing this info.

If it is a tension issue, it seems like you could cut the thread right before the tension knob and pull forward. On my machine that would waste much less thread than cutting at the spool.

I remember Nancy's tip, too, and sometimes remember to do it! It does seem to make sense to "floss" for lint.

Thanks for this information. Either I wasn't listening in home ec 43 years ago or I wasn't taught that. I will start doing it the correct way.
I think I have turned my hand wheel backwards a few times. I will need to make sure I don't do that anymore.

In that case i would pull it through however I could. But it wouldn't be the majority of the time so I think once in a while wouldn't hurt. I haven't had my thread break in my Janome but I have had it break in my Brother embr. machine.
