Does anyone use washers under your bobbins when doing free motion or regular sewing?

Thanks

I do. I started using them with FMQ, but I leave them in all the time now.

Why?

I've never had to use them. Aren't they supposed to prevent backlashing?

I am very curious about this too, have not used them, would like to know more

Me too. Someone please tell us more!

Someone tell me what washes are ??? and where do you put them??? :roll:

They go under the bobbin....it's suppose to stop backlashing, bird nests

I don't know for sure because I've never used them

I sometimes get problems with my drop in bobbins. Will these help or are they only for front load bobbins?

Some of you are saying washers and some are saying washes. Are they like little felt circles to keep the bobbin from moving too easily and causing it to let the thread bunch up?
I have been planning on trying FM but now I don't understand this. Do I need to worry about it?
