Frank, No one seems to be in my part of the country! I'm wondering where this tech might be coming from? I hope not too far, I heard I pay travel. I've been using ARC, Madeira and RA threads. It happens with them all. Some of the thread is brand new, others a year old. I keep in drawers and plastic boxes when not is use.
