Never heard of such a thing. However, If you have any problems when you first start out, you may want to consider this. I say just start quilting something and keep on practicing!!!

This is new to me.

I sometimes feel that when I'm FMQ I don't have "the full deck", but I always use a full bobbin!!

UPDATE: I reviewed the DVD again and paid closer attention this time. She is sewing on a Bernina 430.
Basically, she stated that machines will typically overfill bobbins, and that will cause looser threads which will increase thread/needle breakage and cause tension issues. She recommends to stop winding your bobbin before the machine does. 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. Therefore, I shall continue to quilt with a full bobbin! |
