After filling a bobbin, should one let it sit for a while and let the thread relax before using it? Usually fill 2-3 at a time, so it's a moot point for the 2nd and 3red bobbin, but what about the first one?

I've never waited after winding one.

never heard of waiting before, don't, but do fill more than one at a time - a real time saver, not to mention MUCH more convenient

Bobbins are wound with tension so thread relaxing isn't a good thing. I started using Bobbin Genies in my metal bobbin case and it makes a difference. I have much fewer bobbin tangles or nests.

I've never waited, just fill and replace it and sew!!

I haven't ever heard that. I just fill and go.
