Can I use old thread? How do you know? Paganoonoo Sewing Tip

[@franj587]

Cleaning my sewing room and I have thread from 40 years ago still in the package… I tested them per your video and they popped… thanks for the information!

[@kkilco]

Thank you! I've been going crazy trying to fix my machine tension but I do have really old thread.

Thank you for the demonstration. It was very helpful.

Thank you for this video. I bought some old thread at a garage sale. With wooden spools of thread is not good anymore unfortunately but the wooden spools are pretty good.

I use those threads for layering on decorative techniques.

Does old thread get loose? I redheaded my machine both top thread & bobbin. Changed the needle to a new one. Machine still makes knock noise, & top thread still has loops... please help!

[@michellepaganoonoopaganini4818]

Try a thread you know is new, bobbin and top. If it works then you know the thread is a problem.

[@jewelniles4041]

Is your thread polyester or cotton?

[@kaleidoscopicreature7019]

But what about old thread and sewing by hand that really is so much of it an issue

[@meacadwell]

Use old thread for basting or on items that won't see a lot of use or washing - like a wall hanging, with the full knowledge that problems could occur over time (drooping, breakage, etc.)

It will not hold up as good
