Thread catching on edge of spool
There was a comment on a thread within the last couple of months about Presencia thread hanging up on the edge of the spool after it was about half empty, and I've had the same problem. I don't remember the subject of the thread and haven't been able to find it, but I thought whoever made the comment would like to know that I just got an order of Presencia 60-wt. thread and both ends of the spool are as smooth as a baby's bottom! I'm so pleased they fixed the problem -- it's really good thread.

I've had that problem and i change the size of the end cap that slides onto the spool holder to keep the spool in place. the smaller one i use with very skinny spools of thread, the larger cap I use with regular spools of thread. that way the thread glides over the cap and not the spool end itself. i too hate those slits in the spool ends that can catch thread.

It wasn't catching on the slit. There isn't a slit on this brand of thread. It was catching on the raised lettering on the edge of the spool. But the good news is that they've stopped marking their spools that way so the thread isn't catching at all anymore.
