I *always* use the head groove on Midlands bobbins. In fact, the lack of a groove is a major reason I dislike most Continentals (I use Swiss because they have a grooved head). When I hitch on the neck, sooner or later the hitch gets bogged down in among the wound threads and I get a terrible snarl.
