On Pins and Needles Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 I put a spool of Bottom Line on the bobbin winder and it made a loud squeaky noise as the bobbin filled. I've been using those bobbins on a quilt, the thread also squeaks as it comes off the bobbin. It's kind of annoying but the tension is perfect top and bottom so I just deal with it. Is there an explanation or a cure? I always wind my own bobbins with Bottom Line, this is my first squeaker. I had a top thread once that made the same noise as it went through the tension discs.. I can't remember what that one was, I took it off and used something else. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbm Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Cindy, you could maybe put some thread conditioner (spray silicone, Sewer's aid, etc.) on the thread, but I have no idea if it'll help! Also, call Superior - they have a vested interest in everyone loving their threads, and if they squeak, quilters will stay away in droves! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Pins and Needles Posted May 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 I've only encountered this twice, it's a really loud squeak too, not my imagination! Barb, I thought about Sewers Aid, didn't have any on hand, since it was stitching so nice I just put up with it. I will pick some up and see if it solves the problem. Thanks again!
