We all need to run thread in the machines.
 

Thanks so much for that link! I have bookmarked it and may even print it off. Besides a good working machine, thread might be the most important ingredient in sewing and when thread "is/goes bad", it can cause us so much frustration.

I just figured this out today while embroidering a design with the metallic thread....didn't want to work sitting up on the thread rack so I fixed it to spin off just like that...yay me!!!!

That article just solved a couple of problems for me. Thanks for sharing it! Can you believe that I didn't know those stretchy thingies were supposed to be left on the spool while you sew? I thought they were just there to keep the thread from unwinding when you stored the spool. LOL

Very informative. Thanks for sharing!

Very informative article, going to print it and keep it with my specialty threads. Thank you so very much for posting.

Thanks for the link!

Excellent, I printed it out and it will be going into the info binder! Thank you for taking the time posting it.

Thank you for that link. I had been considering playing with metallic thread, but I really need to get in more machine time with easier threads first. And use a machine with less sharp bits in the thread path.

Superior Threads has a great thread holder than can handle any thread, I think. The link is:
