Hmm. I have the XL 6000 and I too, have the cones of thread that are wound the 'wrong' way. I use Marathon thread, and so far I have not had a problem at all turning them upside down. I do use thread nets on them tho, so that might be why I haven't had an issue. Do you have any thread nets around that you could try? If not, is there a florist nearby you could ask for a few rose nets? I think most forists would give them to you as I don't think they use them for anything else. That way you could try it out and see if this fixes your problem before you buy any.

I bought 2 or 3 yards of thread nets and need to get a couple more in order to cover all my spools. I like buying it by the yard so you can cut them to any length you like. Good luck!

Hi, just to let you know, you can purchase your thread for the XL6000 from Threadart.com, it is would clockwise and I have the same machine and haven't had a problem. They are reasonably priced, $1.65 for 1100M spool of thread and if you spend $99, shipping is free. There is where I get all of my thread. Just click on threads, then the Poly 40 weight, much better than rayon and the colors and sheens are wonderful! No breakage. Check this site out~it's wonderful. Just a customer, not an employee or anything. They ship really fast too. Oh, almost forgot, you can get the 5000M spools for $3.99 and they also have the multicolor for I think $2.50~no tax too!!
