![]() ![]() Metallic threads incorporate pieces of metal and can be delicate and have a tight twist memory (may not want to unwind flat from the spool), and these types of threads may benefit by setting the spool to the side of the machine to let the thread have a longer runway to unwind and relax from the spool. Invisible threads can be more delicate and may benefit from slowing down your sewing speed and decreasing thread tension. It’s not uncommon to make machine adjustments to thread tension or sewing speed with the wide variety of threads on the market today, especially if top and bobbin threads are different weights. The thread stand accommodates both stacked and cross-wound spools. The 8 Series thread stand optimally releases thread from the spool at the high speeds of 1200 stitches per minute this model is capable of stitching. Hello suegrap, the 8 Series machines do have a different thread stand system than other models like the one we show in our tip. Use the spool along with a foam pad to help keep the thread from wrapping around the pin. Stacked spools work best on a vertical spool pin to allow the thread to evenly feed off of the spool. Use the spool along with a foam pad and spool cap to help keep the thread from wrapping around the pin. ![]() The thread should come off the top of the spool. The thread has been wound on the spool to stack one row above the other, resulting in a pattern of straight lines on the spool.Ĭross-wound spools work best on a horizontal spool pin to allow the thread to evenly feed off of the spool. The green and gold spools on the right in the picture above are stacked. The thread has been wound on the spool in a criss-cross way, resulting in a pattern of “X’s” on the spool. The red and blue spools on the left in the picture above are cross-wound spools. These tips can help if your sewing machine has both vertical and horizontal spool pins. The thread will come off of each type of spool differently. Most spools of thread are wound one of two ways, cross-wound or stacked. Do you know which type of thread spool pin on your sewing machine to use with different spools of thread? ![]()
