A little trick with a sponge...
Do you also know the problem of "jumping thread" during stitching? Like many others, we usually have the thread going across several wheels or rods for several centimeters to minimize the problem, but still ever so often the thread "jumps" when comes of the cone. Today we discovered that a simple cleaning sponge can be a great helper! Just cut it and lead the thread trough it. It acts as a little "break" smoothing out the abrupt jumps of the thread. Just thought we should share this experience....

Kind of like the packing peanut/Styrofoam that I've used when using metallic thread.

I had the jumping thread while stitching. I took it to the dealer. He checked it out. He could not fix it. It had to be shipped to the repair center in Missouri. It will be gone from 2 to 4 weeks. Mine was a part that was broken in the machine.

Good idea as I sometimes don't have a packing peanut around. How long does the spong last before you need to replace it?

Will this trick make my machine like the metalic thread ?

In our case it was better. But the quality of under thread is more important.

Okay, I'm dense - do you run the thread THROUGH the sponge or under it? And how does a styrofoam peanut work? LOL?

Yes, THROUGH the sponge. Long cut with knife...

sewdeb you cut a slit in the sponge and let the thread run in the slit this stops the thread from getting too loose as it adds just a little more tension to slippery threads, a styrofoam peanut works in the same way. annie
