What is the diameter and height of one spool? Does the thread break cleanly, fray a little, or fray a lot when broken, not cut?

the spool itself is 1/2 " by about 2 "...it is very strong thread and does not fray..just like regular thread on normal bobbins...I consider it a very good buy because you get many colors and unless you plan to sew a full garment where you might need a couple of same color bobbins, this is a very good buy..I am very pleased with the assortment to fix a hem,. a loose button, etc etc....

The threads are fine. 1/2 in. bolt 20 threads per inch. Just like the picture. Thanx to all the people who said coarse thread now i have skids that wont fit.

Thank you for contacting Threadart. No, there should not be knots in the thread off the spool.

Thank you for inquiry. Hex Size is 5/8" (16mm) and Thread Size is 14mm. It is pre-gaped as .044" (1.1mm). Don't hesitate to contact us if we may further assist you.

Thread is never listed by size anymore, not the polyester thread for sewing anyway. Hasn't for at least 20 years. But, this is probably approximately size 50. If it's heavy duty or very fine, it's marked. So, before you get all "FRUSTRATED", learn what is going on in the world of sewing today.

I just bought a spool of replacement line in the same diameter and cut it in 5" to 6" lengths. I bought regular line but it seems to break off quite easily. Buy the heavy duty stuff and save yourself frequent changes during one trimming session.

It's 1/4" NPT - tapered pipe thread. That would probably make it somewhere around 1/2" in diameter, but that's not how pipe threads are measured...

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 takes a replacement spool No.AF-100, or if you buy it in bulk, it takes ONLY .065in. (1.65mm) monofilament line.

Hello, I think this model would be to small for a regular spool of thread but a good size for a bobbin if those are still in use today, My mom had those when I was a kid. They sell these boxes in a number of sizes so just measure a spool and get a taller box. hope that helps

I have had this thread stand for 9 or so years and I have not found a spool that does not work. On strange spools or tubes of thread I have had to borrow a disk from my machine to hold them in place, but that was not a problem.

I THINK it is 11/16, finer than standard thread. It came with a plastic coupler that I used.

I used on 1-1/2 and had to cut about 1.5 inches off to get rid of excess. if I remember it had about 3-3.5 inches of thread on them.

Yes, they do tell you what size string to use (.065" diameter). They also have instructions and a diagram showing how to replace the string on the spool. Unfortunately, neither is very clear, so it's best just to look carefully at how the string and spool fit before taking it out. It's actually not that difficult even without the instructions.

Price equals quality. I used this for 1" and it worked. Extra care is needed to make sure the threader is square and that the pressure applied on the handle is direct. I did have it skip a few times when I wasn't being mindfull of that. Threads were fine and the price can't be beat. I wouldn't recommend it for regular use.

Specs are listed in the product details. Hit MORE details to see it. Thread size is listed there too (1/8" NPT)

I checked mine and the threads are indeed 1/4" x 20. I didn't measure the bolt part, but it appears to be in the 1.25 to 1.5" range length. which is all threaded, plus around half an inch for the rubber tip.
