Was there a link? I didn't see one and I would be very interested in the answer to this. I only have a vertical peg.

The instructions for my Brother SQ9000 tell me to have the thread come off the spool clock-wise. The manual has a picture, so I figure I'd better do it the way they say. When I put on a spool that has the little base I worry because I cannot put it upside down.

None of my machines have a horizontal spool holder, they are all vertical. I do pay attention to which way it winds off the spool but if it needs to be horizontal I'm out of luck. Never had any problems so I guess I'm good to go with my older machines that still work like a charm.

[QUOTE=Piper;6601645]I found an article on this subject that might help you. The fifth paragraph down (under the pictures of the spools of thread) should be of particular interest to you.

I have 2 Whites with vertical pegs and two Singers with horizontal. I don't think it makes any difference. I have caps that go on the horizontal pegs that holds the spools in place whether they are the wound or cross wound spools. I have never had a problem with either of them going on either machine. Just something I would say would cost more to put on a horizontal peg machine. Makes no difference to me! Edie
