I used to have this problem, particularly using DMC Broder Machine for Bucks Point. Margaret Allen pointed out the rule of turning the bobbin at right angles to the pillow every time you lengthen or shorten, and I found that this helped to cure the problem - but Bucks does still unwind the DMC threads in the ground movement, so I now use William Hall's threads for that. Likewise in Honiton you need to watch the threads, but in that case it is more likely due to the rolling of the bobbins. If DMC unwind, they fall apart - I think it is partly the direction of twist, and partly the staple length of the fibres used could be shorter than that of others? Probably just a case of every so often, pick up the bobbins individually and let the thread leash slacken - if it twists up, you need to untwist it (by turning the bobbin in line with the thread, not at right angles to it) so that the proper twist on the thread is restored. Turning the bobbin at right angles ensures the thread is unwound, not untwisted. -- Jane Partridge -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
