Sometimes spools of thread have a rough edge that can catch the thread. My solution is to keep a coarse emery board near my machine and file the rough edge until it’s smooth enough to no longer present a problem.

I had to do just that today while sewing!
Great idea, this is something that always bugs me.
I just had a “DUH” moment. I have struggled with rough edge spools many times. I had never thought of filing them down. Thank you.
Great tip, and such a simple solution to the problem, too!
Absolutely great idea. How many times has this happened to me, and totally made a good job less than perfect. Thanks
I’ve had the same problem but now I have a suggestion as to how to get rid of the problem of the thread catching. Thanks for the suggestion.
a clever idea from a “clever lady” thank you
What a super suggestion! I agree with Bonnie – I had a real “duh” moment of why hadn’t I thought of this. Thanks.
I also agree – what a great idea, Pat! However, I’ll call it an ‘aha’ moment. Thank you so much for sharing.
In fact I just did this very thing last night.I had a spool of thread that snagged the thread.I always keep an emory board handy.
This is an excellent tip.
This works great. I do the same thing all the time. I thought of it one day because I always have an emery board in my desk which is right next to my machine,and tried it one day when the thread I was using kept catching my thread. Thanks for dharing it with everyone.
