It is likely you got the deal on the thread because it was old and on its last legs. It should not have been sold even at a real discount. Old thread is a night mare to work with. Unfortunately there is no way an inexperienced eye can spot old thread until it acts up in the machine. An experienced eye might be able to but even that would take some doing.Originally Posted by EastTexasHanger
I trust you will have luck with the heavier thread and the larger needle.
I may be slow... But I sure am gimpy.
"Bless you child, when you set out to thread a needle don't hold the thread still and fetch the needle up to it; hold the needle still and poke the thread at it; that's the way a woman most always does, but a man always does t'other way."
