How To Know Your Thread Is Not Good Anymore
Definitely thread is not something like metal which is going to last forever in your cupboard. You have to replace it once it’s too old to use or when it’s about to finish. Many sewing beginners must be thinking that their 
best basic sewing machine is perfectly okay and they are following the whole recipe of sewing but why there is still something missing in the project? Why does it seem like there is still a lack of finishing in their work?
This may be happening due to the quality of the thread. The thread is one of the most important factors in sewing and if you are not using a thread which is good enough for your project then that pro appearance will be hard to maintain. Today we are guiding you about when you should know that the thread spool must be in your trash can instead of the cupboard and how you can identify that thread is not able to work anymore. When you can actually replace the old one with the new one.
Sewing machine and sewing threads
Climate:
Do you know that climate plays an important role in turning your sewing supplies into something useless? This is something really panic situation because most of us sewers, keep the threads in stock so whenever we are about to get out of it, we can immediately replace the old one with a new one and can continue our work.
The thread can change its nature in two conditions. If you are living in the dry climate then your thread may become brittle in nature and it will be hard for you to make it soft. If you are living in the hot climate then your thread may become too sticky which will give a messy look. To save your thread, keep it wrapped in some newspaper or don’t stock too much. Only keep one spool in extra.
Dust:
You must be thinking how my machine get so much lint and how my tension disc in the sewing machine is not performing well? One of the major reasons must be the dust on the thread. Make sure that you are dusting off the whole sewing space daily to keep the supplies and your sewing machine safe from the lint. If you are working somewhere which is totally exposed to dust then it’s going to be an issue for your thread and machine.
The dust particles can stick to the thread and when you will fix it into the machine then these particles will reach the disc tension and can create a problem for your project. Before you start sewing, clean the thread as well from any soft fabric to wipe the particles off.
Checking:
The next question which must be in the mind of any beginner is, how to check whether the thread has become too brittle and when we should replace it with the new one? Well, we got you covered and here is the solution. Take a little thread must be enough to stretch. Try to break it, if it’s breaking too easily, it means it is brittle now and you should not work it anymore.
Check the thread before sewing
Keep in mind that it is the high time to change the thread to save your sewing machine from the damage. The brittle thread can add so much lint into your machine and you have to clean it after short time intervals. Another thing is that it can make your sewing much weaker.

Wound Tightly:
If you want your sewing supplies to last then always keep your thread wounded tightly. Keep it away from the high light and dust. It would be better if you create a small box or cabinet kind of a thing on the wall and keep all your storage there. Make sure you are cleaning the cabinet twice in a week to keep an eye on the supplies.
One more thing makes the thread quite weak and that is tangling. Never keep your things in a rough manner as it will make things worse for you and after a short time period you have to replace all the threads with the new one. Preserve your thread in the most gentle and organized manner so you can use the supplies for the longest time and can make it last.
Weakness:
The strong exposure of the light is damaging to the thread and if you are doing so, then you are making your sewing supplies old and expire before time. We all learn from our mistakes and if you have done so then you should take care of all these things in the future. Definitely, you must have spent a lot of amount on the supplies, there is nothing to be worried about. Keep those thread for the practice session.
If you have some damaged thread in your storage due to the excessive dust and light then leave it and use it for the less important projects. Like if you are attempting something for the fun purpose or you are doing some practice then you can use these threads. You can also use it for the hand stitching and in this way, you don’t have to throw all your things away.

That is exactly what happens: a new layer is created as a copy of the currently selected layer. Please notice this is not necessarily the 'current' layer, which is the layer where new entities are created on.

He means when you pick the new layer button in layer manager, in upper left.
It copies the current layer.
If you use the command line -Layer, it uses defaults (white, continuous...).
So you have to explain how you are making the layer for us to solve your problem.
You could easily make a key-in to do what you want in lisp in one step if that sounds good.0 -
As @Louis Verdonck said,
when you select a Layer in Layer Panel and press the new Layer Icon,
it will create a new Layer with the same Attributes as the selected Layer.
I always use this when creating Layers.Never tried what happens when you do not select a Layer before creating one.
Default attributes, attributes from last selected Layer days ago, from active Layer
or whatever.Not sure if it is what you really want.
Like someway with no Layer Panel, no Layer selected and just wish when creating
a new Layer in any way - that it uses attributes from active Layer,
or such.0
