How to Use the Ultimate Thread Dispenser™ with Your Sewing Machine
The Ultimate Thread Dispenser™ helps improve thread delivery by reducing twists and tension issues. For the best performance, place it on your vertical spool pin. This allows for smooth thread flow and minimizes tangling.
If your machine’s horizontal spool pin is large enough, you can also use it there. However, not all machines have enough space in their compartments to fit it. Another great option is to place the dispenser on a thread stand, like the Thread Tamer™, and thread it through your machine as usual.
Will the Ultimate Thread Dispenser™ Fit Your Machine?
Before purchasing, compare these dimensions with your sewing machine’s spool pin:
- Base diameter: 50.5mm (2”)
- Hole diameter: 8.7mm (0.34”)
Additional Tips for Best Results
- Use the dispenser with cross-wound and stacked thread spools for smoother unwinding.
- Pair it with low-tension threads to prevent unnecessary stretching.
- If using a horizontal spool pin, ensure the spool rotates freely.
- Consider a thread stand if your machine’s spool pin is too small.
Why Use a Thread Dispenser?
Thread dispensers like this one help extend the life of your thread by preventing unnecessary wear. They are particularly beneficial when working with metallic, silk, or monofilament threads, which can be prone to tangling or breaking. Whether you’re quilting, embroidering, or sewing delicate fabrics, a dispenser ensures a more consistent feed for better results.

Seems a bit flimsy, but usable. My thread kept popping out of it.
It came quickly
I had to tell you how much I love the Ultimate Thread Dispenser. I have been very unhappy with how the stitches look on my Elna 540 Experience machine. I also had frequent skipped stitches that weren’t responding to the usual treatments. But since using the thread dispenser my stitches have been even, not skipped and look beautiful. Thank you. I also love the Invisafil and Decobob threads because my seams lie so much flatter than with other threads.
Received my Thread Dispenser today and cannot be happier. It works like a charm!! I always hated using those devices that held thread on a pole off the machine. Problem solved. I love it
