HI, I do use the double head, but revert to hitching on the neck for bobbins which are misbehaving!
Where the same type of bobbins are misbehaving, I wonder if there is also a factor relating to how the thread is wound onto the bobbin. Uneven winding may cause a problem which we would not necessarily spot - in the same sort of way an unevenly wound sewing machine bobbin can cause problems (the sort which go in the bottam of the machine). Also, could it be something to do with the relationship between where the thread comes from on the neck to the hitch? Another thought, is the amount of thread on the bobbin. I find I have problems where there is very little thread on the bobbin. I think this is because there is not enough thread on the neck to hold still against the weight and movement factors involved. Certainly some bobbins seem to have more problems than others. Even with the same type of bobbin, one may have subtle differences: different wood, different grain, smoothness etc.I like ebony bobbins, but they often release thread as they are so smooth, but I pick up on that because the bobbins stand out on the pillow. Unless you are observant, you can miss the fact that some bobbins release thread more easily than others. Karen In Coventry, England -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
