Can I use regular type thread spools with this machine? I live in Virginia. What kind of dealer can I bring this to for checkup/cleaning? thanks

Yes you can use regular thread. And you can bring this machine to any sewing store which service sewing machine.

The thing with the threads is a DIN type first stage. It is not commonly used in the US. Make sure you are ordering the right type it only comes with one type of the other.

Thank you, can I use the empty spool from the original Ryobi Line and Spool?

I did not try compatibility by myself, but I can say that thread on this part is not one of standard SAE or metric threads, it is designed to be unique, I tried to find something compatible with this thread, and did not find, so I doubt it's compatible with competitor manufacturer. Also pour quality and longevity of this part does not worth to use it unless it fits perfectly. I would rather use Hayward part or something else.

You can order them from Worx and you can buy them at Lowes (I usually wind the string on the empty spool myself).

You might have to remove the ribbon from the new spools and put it on the old ones...the diameter of replacement spools is sometimes larger than original...the ribbon would probably be fine.

The Cajun Red is terrible line. Run your finger's along it and it very uneven in texture, seems brittle and don't care for the memory coiling. The more you pull line off the spool, the more pronounced the coil. Replaced mine with DuPont Stren..lays flat and no coiling. Cabela's Pro Line works well to for a decent price, low memory to.

I went to Home Depot, works great. Remember! Do not use thread tape. You will get leaks...

Yes. I really love this machine. Self-threader no longer works, but everything else is working fine.

Machine is per threaded with white. Needles included. You will need to purchase more spools of the colors you need. The machine is prethreaded so you can tie your new thread on and it feeds through - no need to thread yourself. Joanne's fabrics has two different quality of threads ranging from $1.00 to a better quality 3-4$. Hope this helps!

Not recommended. You can create threads on steel that does not have thread, or clean up existing threads, but changing thread would be problematic easier to buy new nut.

Google your brand, LST400, and see what you come up with. That is how I found my spools. If you have a model or serial number, you will get what you need by googling that.

I think it will work. It's a large spool and not a cone. I really like this thread. I have all collections.

If you check the gauge of the line you can usually buy pre-packed spools that are cheaper than Black & Decker. I'm not sure what you mean by using your own line.

Will work no problem... Price is good, just keep The threads oiled before you use it.. Even works on econoline..

You can basically do either. I have done both and either works OK. It is easier of course to get the pre-wound factory units and they do package them in such a way, that they do not become unwound during transit, unlike the unit I received, the spool was unwound to start, so I had to redo it anyways. I'd say try both and see what you prefer, but both apply in any case, just depends on the individual I would say. The factory does do a good job and getting them wound perfect however. I suspect a machine does this by the perfection of the winde myself.

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.
