My daughter's suggestion solved all of my problems with thread. I put my spool on an upright thread stand, and the thread feeds through easily in my machine. All this time I thought it was my machine but it was the thread on the spool was wound just too tight for my machine. I've also put the larger spools of thread in a heavy large mug and that seems to work as well. Sometime, we can learn from the youngsters. :-D :-D

i embroidered a peacock on the back of a jacket and had to hoop it 4 times and used metallic thread and the only way i could keep from breaking every little bit was when using metallic thread you have to have the spool laying down in a box or something like that so that it can roll off the spool,,,it the spool is sitting straight up it comes off twisted and will knot and break,,,i also sprayed the thread with silicone,,which can be found at your local wal mart,,,,also use a bigger eyed needle,,,i hope this helps

Before you buy thread(matalic) in the store , loosen it off the spool about 12 to 15 inches, If it curle,s up like a perm then it will keep breaking on you. Your buying it on the little spools, try buying it on the larger spools i know its more expensive but it will not break. Nor will it curl up on you. See the difference when you take it off the spool, it will be straight not curled up. PS: do this before you buy it and leave the store.

ARe you using a metallic needle? That is required for using metallic thread.
My metallic thread used to break until my Bernina dealer told me to use only metallic needles with it -- preferably a 90/14.
She also suggested I use a thread stand because metallic thread has memory and tries to curl back the way it was on the spool.
Doing these two things have made using all my metallics very easy and enjoyable.
