How should I store the thread?

Troubleshooting
Thread breaking during machine sewing
Check that the machine is correctly threaded, the needle is sharp and correctly inserted, and the tension is not too tight. Ensure the needle type is suitable for polyester thread.
Stitches look uneven or loose
Adjust the upper thread tension on your sewing machine. Ensure the bobbin is wound evenly and correctly placed.
Thread tangling
Verify that the thread is feeding smoothly from the spool and that the presser foot is lowered correctly before sewing. Check for any snags or obstructions in the thread path.
