I do not see 40wt on the spool, it says 500m. My designs and machine call for 40 wt. Is this the corect thread?

In the description it states "40 Weight, 500 meters (550 yards) each spool" the 500 m is the length of the thread, the weight is 40. You have the correct thread.

I received a response from the manufacturer: "It is a 1/4" x 20 pitch thread. Try a set screw. They hold much better over time."

I may have it in next week. Check back then. I will at least have the 6lb 125yd spools

Yes, it will drive you crazy! It is very difficult to thread!!! I am a professional seamstress and have had many sergers before this one! I sold it to a friend who has worked with these machines before. Go with the one that air threads itself, and you should be fine!

I am not sure of the thread size , but I am using them in a Eastern Axis 500 Carbon Arrow , and the Broad Heads are carbon . Andy .

sorry I don't know I just took the info out of my book. I would call brother and ask them They probably know or call the sales department of a supplier of thread. You an always buy from Amazon to get the best price

I've been reloading with cheap refill spools. I don't know if using a single line would throw it off balance. It's automatic feed, and it seems the least disturbance seems to make it spit out a couple of feet of line. I'm definitely going to try C's suggestion to tie knots so it won't feed.

I just got this machine and set it up last night. It was delivered with 4 regular-sized spools of thread with not much thread on the spools. Already threaded. I will tie new threads on to each as suggested and use the hand wheel to advance them through the needles. I was forewarned not to let the thread run out so I don't have to rethread. (Though looking at it, it's clear where the threads go and perhaps it's not that difficult on this machine? Time will tell, I'm sure.) I'm a little worried the delivered spools will run out quickly, so haven't run the serger yet -- will install new spools before trying. Order thread or buy it before the serger is delivered. (Someone on a diff question suggested one site to buy. Hancock's has Maxi-lock on sale these two weeks.) Remember you need 4 spools to run full - that will be 4 white spools at a time, for instance! Even on sale it adds up! I did read that one can even use a bobbin for small jobs; that a bobbin would hold enough thread for perhaps one small tee? There's something called a Bob'n Serge - a little tray with small pins for 5 bobbins that fits on one of the pins. Mixed reviews, found 2 who really love it, some who said why bother. If you're only serging a little, makes sense. I also saw an expert who piggy backs sequential bobbins without cutting the thread between? Lots to explore. HTH.

Brady, its difficult to tell without seeing both pics to see what you are talking about!!! The dbl handle and wide spool suggests its a 6001 ( the 1 being the left hand designation) from the normal right handed 6000...Without seeinf the difference you are talking about,,thats the best I can do...Sorry!! JimThis may also be a 6501, the 5 designates a "fast retrieve" ratio over the 000 models

I only used couple of feet so far, so I can't really tell you. But I remember someone mentioning in the comments that there is good 75 yards of thread in that spool.

It's actually all about the thickness of the thread. Your 1200 could be a very thin thread about equal to the thicker thread in the 500. It's really confusing and you have to check the details to determine what you're getting for your money

I would look in the manual that came with your model machine. I do know that some machines are a little picky and prefer the specific brand and size. I found that out with one of my embroidery machines.

Thanks all for your input. I ended up going to OSH, matching the thread, then purchasing 1" bolts instead of 1.5" bolts that was supplied in the packaging. So new purchasers, save yourself a bunch of anxiety and buy yourself 1" #8 32 standard thread. I e-talked with the manufacturer, Progress Lighting. That was pretty useless...community, you were much more help! Thanks...

You can use a little bigger but need bigger eye of needle. What size thread do you want to use? Monday phoneme. Sammy sewingmachineoutlet

I believe it is a 40 weight. Very thin & fine. If you are looking for a good weight thread, for a heavy fabric - try Sulky Brand or C&C Embroidery Threads. I use cotton coats & clarks a lot even though class instruction will say it's a no-no. My little machine does fine embroidering with cotton sewing thread.

My Floriani thread has it at the bottom, but if these spools have it, it's too difficult for me to figure it out.

the spool says 455 feet / 138 meters. I've ordered 2 of these and believe that number to be accurate.
