eMotions Thread Trick

After tearing my hair out over trying to use metallic thread (this machine does not like Sulky metallics, BTW) I learned a tip from my Bernina dealer--apparently the thread post on the top of the machine is causing problems and they're working on a fix. Until then, don't use it! Just set your thread spool on your countertop behind the machine and let it unwind your thread from there. Tried this and haven't had a problem since with regular thread on a cone. I'm not quite brave enough to attempt the metallics again!
