Nice, Sirlene. Jerrilyn mentioned it quite a while ago, but now people can see what she meant.

Thank you very much Shirlene, I will look at that video 10 or 20 times, and I hope that I will understand thanks to the picture. I have not understand what is this little white piece where she put the thread,after the great rod. I have not such a thing????

It's a piece of styrofoam, used for filling up packages. In Europe it is replace by other products, like the air-filled bubbles, but any piece of foam will do.
by shirlener88 21 May 2009
Claude, I can understand how you might not be able to figure out what it is - with the difference in lanquages - but as Martine has said any piece of foam would work.

Linda, I had not used it myself - because I wasn't having any trouble with my metallic thread - but I do remember it was shared her by Jerrilyn a while back. *4U

I can't watch it without signing up :(. I don't mind giving my email and creating password, but I can't understand why a website needs personal info, like a birthdate?

Neat tip - thanks for posting this.
I wonder if this also might work for regular thread.
Last weekend I was stitching with a large spool of thread and it seemed like too much was un-winding off the spool and it would kink before it went through the thread path. I use a thread stand like the one in the video.

Eugina, I use that same stand, too. I guess - it sure wouldn hurt to try it. Hehehe! *4U

Thanks Shirlene - great tips for Metallic thread. I have been using the thread from behind the machine which seemed o.k. but this extra hint with the packaging polystyrene will surely make it run smoother.

Love and blessings Chris

Once you get a good metallic thread in a large spool - with a way to handle it - they are really nice to stitch with.

Did you forget that JerriLyn (Jrob) (or was it SimplyRosie?) gave us this tip in projects a couple of years ago?? I've been using it ever since.

Thanks for this great tip. I surely could have used this with my Christmas stars. Now I can try it with my Easter decorations.
