Is this a common practice?Dina
I have used it in the bobbin as well; however, there are some tips about using it in the bobbin. Because nylon monofilament stretches, it's a good idea to wind the bobbin slowly. (Fast winding will stretch it.) Metal bobbins are the best because they are less likely to distort at the edges. Even with metal bobbins, you should stop winding before the bobbin is full; two-thirds full is good. Depending on your machine and how the thread was wound, you may need to loosen the bobbin tension, although I don't need to do this on my Bernina 1230.
