They actually make my HandiQuilter machine work better. I would randomly get birds nests, and that stopped with the Teflon washer.

I have never used them either. Please explain their function and just what they are?

Before I'd heard about them, I had issues with backlashing & bird nesting with my Tin Lizzie 18, so cut a circle of fabric to fit into the bobbin casing. It stopped the bobbin spinning too fast & solved the problems.
Have never had this happen with my DSMs.

"Bobbin washers," all that I could envision were little, tiny elves, hunched over a miniature sink filled with bubbles, scrubbing away on metal bobbins. What the heck are bobbin washers?

We obviously think alike.

Easy to search and find out all you want to know. Some use them and some don't.

I use them all the time when FMQing. I think they help with my bobbin tension, and most important they definitely don't hurt.

I started using them when I began FMQ my own quilts and just leave in the bobbin case all the time now.
