Little Magic Bobbin Genies
I was reading about this item and wonder if any of my Quilting Board buddies have tried them. They seem too good to be true. If anyone has experience with these, I would appreciate hearing from you. Thanks in advance.

On a recent quilt, I was using dark thread in the needle and light-colored thread in the bobbin. I was getting "backlash" on the backing of my quilt (tiny loops of dark thread) when changing directions in my quilting. Tried Bobbin Genies, and didn't notice any improvement. I tried all sorts of tension adjustments, and finally decided to live with the backlash.
P.S. I think I'll stay away from combination of light and dark threads for the time being! ....

I used them in all my machines. Sharon Schamber recommended them some years ago so I tried them. I can tell they do something as they get thinner and thinner over time. I'm still using from the first package.
