This is the video on how to change machine quilting threads on your longarm quilting machine fast using the ingenious embroidery tie off. This is fast and really easy and something you will love how truly timesaving it is once you try it on the next thread change on your quilting machine or home machine. Using the embroidery tie off on your longarm, midarm, shortarm or even home machine is easy and quick. You do not have to cut your old thread and pull it out through the needle and completely rethread your machine. By the way, that is how thread should always be removed from any sewing machine. Change thread by pulling it forward through the needle or just above the needle eye. Do not pull it back through the thread guides, it can change the tension on the tensioner spring and more. Just remember to pull it toward you as you sit or stand at the front of your machine facing the needle. Once you are finished with your old thread cut it about 12" away from the cone keeping your machine threaded as normal. Then put your new cone or spool of thread on the thread spindle or holder. Tie a single knot open loop on the old thread about 12" away from the raw end that you cut off from the cone. Next, take 12" of your new quilting thread and pull the raw end of the thread through the loop of your old thread. Now tighten the old quilting thread around the new thread. Make sure the long tails are not wrapped around anything and can move freely. All set? Your new cone of thread is on your machine and now it is time to go to the needle and pull the old thread toward you with the new thread tied tightly in the loop. You may have to help it along if the new thread size is bigger, your tensioner may not be adjusted for the larger thread diameter and it may pull harder or may pull apart as I show at the end. Just watch it and see how it is behaving. The long tail allows for the machine quilting thread to slide down the thread a bit without pulling apart. This is a favorite way to change threads by machine quilters and stitchers.
