The norvise bobbin II (there is a second, newer version) has less tension, and tends to build more wax in the guide-tube of the bobbin, in my experience. As for twisting it around the leg once or twice, I don't have personal experience, but I would immagine (could be wrong) that the added friction would be greater than the adhesive strength of the wax; in other words, I'd think that the wax buildup in the guide-tube would increase. There is a way to tighten things, but I frankly don;t have the foggiest clue. I do know that you can make a makeshift guide to the bobbin guide-tube, where the thread is not hitting the sides of the barrel / guide-tube, but passes through a wire- suspended O-ring first such that it approaches the guide-tube head-on, versus from an oblique. If this makes no sense, I apologize and blame the excessive engineering techno-babble that has been force-fed me for the last 3 hours! Gosh, ain't work great? In any event, let me know if you find something else that works, please. Tight wraps (but not so tight it builds up wax), Pete
