Thread is wound onto the spool in two ways (that I know of): "Cross-wound"
and "level-wound" ...
Coats & Clark is "level-wound:" you can tell this by how when you look at
the view from the side, the thread's wound level with the top of the
spool.
Gutermann, Mettler, and Metrosene is "cross-wound:" you can tell that by
how
when you view the spool from the side, the thread has an "X" pattern.
For whatever reason, my machine gets cranky and the tension gets thrown
off
when I use level-wound thread ... also, level wound thread has the thread
coming off the spool on the "top" of the spool (when you hold it
horizontally) and "cross-wound" thread comes off the spool on the
"bottom."
THAT really sends my machine into a tail-spin!!
Did that make much sense?? We've got my MIL coming for Turkey Day tomorrow
and I've been inhaling cleaning liquids ALL day!! LOL!! :)
Hugs!!
