Instead, respond to the thread on the WEBSITE by clicking here: http://www.amayausers.com/boards/ultimatebb.php?/topic/2/1062.html#000003 The only thread breaks we get on the small tubes (including ARC spools we still have) is when the thread loops get too big and flip under the spool itself-and wind around the tube. Once it tightens up-thread breaks! Have to keep an eye on the spools when they are really bouncing around on the 'coaster'plate holding the spool up. Comparing our Madeira full size thread spools to the ARC (still using up some full spools of colors) I have to say the Madeira runs better...even ran some metallic with no problems! =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
