I was working with "invisible" thread the other day and I'm certain the air above me was blue. You know how the stuff tangles around the spool holder and sticks to the spool and generally won't behave? Well, my son walked in and watched for a minute or so and left the room and came back about 15 minutes later and fixed the problem forever. I was working on my Janome 6600, which has two upright thread holders. He took the spool of demon spawn thread, popped it onto a little gizmo he had made and hung it from the thread holders. Wow. The spool spins freely and the thread comes off the spool just right. No more tangles or sticking places or nasty swearing.
I told him I wanted a free standing one for use with my other machines and he says he'll have one in a couple days. Wow. My boy..... making Mom proud. LOL
