Thank you Meganne for letting me know about loose threads. With my older thread the plastic ends are crumbling and I now have reels of thread I cannot use on the embroidery machine.

Hi Hands24. I have bought a lot of embroidery thread some five to six years ago, and the thread has plastic caps both top and bottom of the thread to hold it. The plastic is now deteriorating, and the thread unravels because of it. Hope this makes sense to you. Cheers.

Sandra, if you can get them to wind onto a bobbin, you put the bobbin in the thread holder and sew with it there. That is unless your thread is also deteriorated. ;)

Wow! Never heard of using the thread of a bobbin this way. Great tip, thank you!
Hugs, Lidia
