Today we were having a tornado alert. The logical response was to take a nap so I did. Meanwhile . . . I had mentioned to DH that my Brother PE 770 too frequently complained of thread breaking. I wondered ( to him, alas) that maybe there was a thread snarl in the general area of the uptake lever and how I wished I could open it up and take a look. Lesson learned. Never take a nap - or never mention such problems. After nap, DH proudly showed me that he had easily taken the Brother apart and there was no thread snarl. End of story: the thread spool halted and stalled every time it wound down to the base. Happy ending. DH was easily able to re-assemble the Brother. I was calmly able to toss the crabby spool. No need for you to reply. Just thought I'd tell you about our venture. Sometimes it is not the embroidery machine or the operator at fault. Sometimes (this time) the thread spool is tightly poorly sloppily wound. Polly
