I've just started using my Metro thread and have had NOT ONE PROBLEM! It seems to be very good thread for me. Maybe you got a bad lot or maybe your machine or needle has problems. Hope you get it all worked out so you can use all your pretty thread!

I read about your problems with Metro thread. I had bought a whole set of the Metro thread because of the wonderful reviews. I was having trouble at first, lots of looping and such. But, I was determined to figure it out. The thread was too beautiful and so economical that I wanted to use it all the time. Well, I decided to buy the Metro bobbins to see if the top thread worked better with the same brand of bobbin thread. Then, I just kept adjusting the tension. I went from a #3 tension all the way to #1 1/2. That made all the difference for me and my 350E Janome machine. It sews without any problems now. I have since tried other brands of bobbins and I can still sew beautifully with the Metro. So, for me at least, the main difficulty had been in adjusting my tension way down. Just keep trying and working with it. I am certain you will find a method that works for you and your machine.

I'm glad that you at least have found a way to use you marvelous thread and as others and yourself said, try another way to and look what works best for you. I have never had problems with Metro threads

Thank you for keeping us posted. I myself use Metro thread all the time and had no problems. Never needed to adjust any tension. I have to admit that I always run my machine on the lowest speed since I do a lot of FSL.

Nama have you tried the metal spool holder that you stand beside your machine & put your thread on? I use the metro thread & I also use that thread holder & have never had any problems with the metro. I have seen this thread holder anywhere between $5.00 & $12.00 dollars depends on where you buy it. I had problems with a lot of different brands of threads doing as you say 'till I purchased it. Paid $8.00 for it & have had no thread problems now for 3 yrs. *

Hi You should contact the dealer. It is possible to get a bad batch of thread. I just went through that thinking it was my serger and it turned out to be the thread. They replaced the thread and now I am sewing away no problems!! At least call to see if there is anyone else with the problem Suzanne

I hope you find a way to use the threads. I am sure yo will come up with something and someway to use them. All the best.

nama2, I am glad you found a way to use your Metro thread - I wished I could think of an easier way for you to use your thread. I use a thread stand all the time and have no trouble at all with the Metro threads.
