Once you master the retractable bobbin it is not hard to use it. Yes, it has some drawbacks. If you tie on a Norlander it is almost impossible to tie at any speed with out the retractable. The drawbacks are, having to spool the thread on the bobbin spool, being sure you pull the bobbin back far enough to lock, leaving some thread to not have the thread pull back through the tube.Putting the clutch assembly in the spool so that it locks, with the new bobbins, pre loading the clutch. This may sound like a lot of trouble but it is really not at all. Once you get the hang of it, it is a very nice bobbin time saving to use. I like not having to spool the thread back by hand once you pull it out of the tube.

One of these days I'll try a retractable bobbin to see if I like that. But my vote for best bobbin still has to be all of them.
