Mary,
Traditionally, but not always, when the cone is sitting on the machine, the 
thread is wrapped around the cone counter-clockwise.  This means that the 
thread unwinds in a clockwise direction as it's coming off the cone.
If the direction of the twists of the thread is to have any kind of impact on 
your embroidery/sewing, it will be at higher sewing speeds.  
Also know that spools of thread that are manufactured for, what we know today 
as, high speed embroidery are shaped so that the thread easily comes off the 
spool without any hangups.  If you attempt to use a small spool of thread 
normally used with a home sewing machine, then the thread could possibly get 
caught at the base of the spool and cause thread breaks.
If you are experimenting in this department, make sure you slow your machine 
down and that your needle is inserted in it's needle clamp with the eye facing 
straight forward.  This will most probably present the thread to the rotary 
hook with a perpendicular loop no matter which way the thread is twisted.
Best of Luck,
Ed Orantes
