I'm looking for a Mara 100 equivalent to Gutermann Sew-All Polyester Dusty Rose Thread, 547 Yd. >> col. 320 on spool end cap, CA02776 on rim. I bought 10 different colors in pinks/reds and none are close. Chart conversion says 733 is industrial color but i don't find a listing for it. Is there a numbering scheme? I would like a selection of colors near the dusty rose.

I bought Gütermann Mara 100 All Purpose Thread for my sewing machines but the thread keeps rolling around she spool pin because the spool hole is much larger than the pin and it wobbles a lot. Is there a notion or tool to purchase to solve this problem?

Please Note: Your answer will be displayed upon approval.
A:
Most home sewing machines will come with a thread "stopper" to hold the thread in place. We have seen machines sent with 2 different sizes for different spools, or stoppers which can be flipped so 1 side fits larger spools or the other side fits smaller spools. The manufacturer of your sewing machine generally sells those attachments for your machine.
