Will someone show a picture of the metro spool and how it works. i don't have my camera right now.

very interesting!

Every day is a learning experience-I had to show the owner of a shop where I buy thread that trick.

my shop owner told us about several spools with this feature, so I look for it now when buying threads....

this is the best thing since sliced bread. I get as much thread as possible on these. If not I use a piece of invisible scotch tape to hold it in place. Does NOT stick to thread. About a 2" piece and fold one end down for a "handle". Been doing that since day 2 of embroidery.

LOVE YA BEV !!!!!

Duh! Duh! and more Duh! Now that I see the picture, I get it!!! I can tuck all those silly thread tails in. What would I do without Cuties?
Thank you very much for the picture.

Glad I could help. Thankfully my son was here to snap the pic for me.

Hope you can see it in this, you just pull down on the outer ring on the bottom.

Thanks for the picture. I went and looked at my spools after the first post about this and I still didn't catch on. Now I've got it.
