Good info.

Interesting - didn't know there was a holder out there that did regular thread spools and bobbins.

Thanks for the link....

Just ordered one from Shoppers Rule today. Only $12.23 compared to $15.99 on most sites, even Superior.

I wonder how the one from Shopper's Rule works compared to the Superior one. It looks like it doesn't have the horizontal pin but you have to put the entire thing horizontal.

I think it's the same just different color.

The one at Shoppers Rule doesn't have a pin to hold a spool horizontally. It says you have to put the whole unit horizontal. That would change the thread path a little on those types of spools.

Looking again at the video, the absence of the horizontal pin makes a big difference. On the Shoppers Rule holder, the thread would still come off the end of the spool rather than the middle. Unless the photo they show is incorrect because that's how it looks. It does look like if the guide wire swivels down it could work the way the Superior one does.

example: Superior with a spool:

That is a versatile tool. Good information about thread winding. Superior thread is great stuff. TFS.

Well, I followed some conversations on here about thread and which end goes which way, but never "got it." Thanks for a clear, concise video that helped me "get it." Now to do something with this information....:-)
