Rastus Report post Posted January 26, 2014 I think maybe someone can help me here. I am wanting to run linen thread through my Landis 3. I'm going to run 7 up top and no. 6 below for saddle skirts etc..I'm wondering should I get right twist or left? Does it matter? I plan on using Campbell's wax pot wax but if there is something else I would be willing to try that as well. Any help is much appreciated! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DavidL Report post Posted January 30, 2014 I do not know much about sewing machines so take my input with a grain of salt. The left twist is what I believe is for machine use, but I could be wrong. Hopefully a member with more knowledge will know Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TXAG Report post Posted January 30, 2014 There is another topic on here where someone said right-hand twist thread is for curved needle machines, fwiw... I think all my bonded nylon is left twist. I do have one spool that does not seem to have any twist at all...I need to replace it, but I can't find the same color. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wizcrafts Report post Posted February 6, 2014 All straight needle, single bobbin machines use left twist (Z) thread. Curved needle sole stitching machines use right twist, as do the right side needles on dual needle, vertical-axis-bobbin machines, if those bobbins rotate in the opposite direction (CCW) to the right hand bobbin. This can lead to confusion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
