Hello Alice and everyone I have noticed a difference if using the hooded bobbins where one uses a rolling motion of the bobbins in the hand. Wound counter-clock, then the half-hitch, the leash doesn't lengthen on its own and the bobbins after TC don't try to T. It took some experimenting to come to this conclusion. I'm not sure this is the reasoning for the Idrija class. Perhaps a question to the teacher? If I use larger midlands on a bolster pillow, the direction of the winding hasn't been an issue.
