I fill my bobbin full and wind 10-15 bobbins before I start quilting. I have 2 machines that use the plastic bobbins and they sometimes give me problems when the bobbin is getting down to the end.
I don't use monofilament thread, don't like it at all. I prefer
cotton threads for machine quilting.
I really like King Tut,YLI and Aurifil.

hhhmmm I have never heard of this neither, I love free motion quilting, and I usually always have a full bobbin, unless I am using up a bobbin from a previous project and using the same colour thread. The only time I have ever had tension issue's it's usually operator error.
I like the new quilters phrase... and let me tell you there have definately been lots of days that my bobbin has only half full too... lol
