I've had my spool launch too. I thought it was me but I do the one-finger on top of spool trick now to solve that issue. The cats loved the spool launch but not so much me. Chasing them chasing the spool was probably quite a sight but thankfully no one caught it on video so it couldn't be posted and then go viral.

I did make a video of it, by accident 
I was filming something on my 431G, and it went flying.... LOL! I didn't manage to get that video online though, too much work to get it off the miniDV tape. I'm not sure if it's still around or not.

In the same video, he positioned his thumb on thread as he pulled it though the upper tension. It loaded the thread through the tensioner, check spring and little teat guide on the tensioner in one sweep. Solved my seating of the thread in the tensioners. Little tricks come in handy. I should start a thread asking for little tricks.

Ron,
A thread for tips and tricks would be great.
The instructions for my Singer 9w-7s say to wrap the thread around the cover bolt just to the left of the hand wheel then go down to the winder. I find it works quite nicely.
