I think I now understand where she is coming from.... it kind of makes sense to me, but I don't think my machine (Brother) overfills to the point of causing issues.

That does make more sense. I don't think my machine overfills either. I try to have several full bobbins ready before i start quilting just to save myself time.

Therefore, I shall continue to quilt with a full bobbin!
