"Excuse Me!" ...............
.................... or "Thread Follies".
My wife was sewing some handles for her shopping bags she's making yesterday on her Bernina 930 using burgundy Coats & Clark's machine quilting thread when I hear her exclaim: "Excuse Me!". I came over to see what was up and she showed me this:
Right in the middle of the spool of thread was a splice. I got a laugh out of it, but my wife didn't appreciate it. She had to re-thread the machine and then restart. She was .... um annoyed.

The last time I sewed with Coats and Clark on my '70s Bernina Record 830, it made a mess. In other words, my vintage Bernina did not like it at all! I won't buy it anymore. Mine was purchased at JoAnn's and it said made in Mexico.

Coats & Clark IS "cheap cheap thread" now. Unfortunately, their quality has diminished from what it was years ago.
And, I've seen splices in it before. Will never buy it again. I now use the many spools I have left for basting quilt sandwiches, and zig-zagging raw edges of new fabric when I'm preparing to wash it.
