Several of you recommended a thread net when using monofilament thread. I've never heard of this. My machine doesn't like the monofilament threads I have tried it seems but I've only tried a couple of brands. These are the brands my Bernina dealer recommends but if a thread net helps I want to learn about that. Thanks!

A thread net is a nylon net tube that is stretchy, you slip it over your spool of thread, it keeps the thread from * falling* off the spool, keeps it feeding correctly. If you type ( thread net) into google images you can see what they look like

Kind of like the netting people who are cooking food in a restaurant wear only this is made for thread. I have never used one before. I don't use mono-filament thread much anymore but I use the type made by Sulky.

Here's what they look like in a package:
http://www.amazon.com/Superior-Threa...dp/B00JS7K3GC/
and here's what they look like on a spool:
http://www.amazon.com/Threadsrus-Thr...dp/B001U5A0Y0/
although that particular brand's nets are more coarse than the Superior Threads ones. The latter one I purchased in yardage and cut off pieces to put around my Christmas paper rolls to keep the rolls neat when I store them in a tall basket. The Superior Threads type thread nets come pre-cut and are very soft. Both work for either task.
