I think it depends on the manufacturer. But it sounds like your style of working is contributing to the problem... maybe you roll your bobbins in one direction, but work them back in the other (so the rolling isn't reversed each row?) I imagine there are lots of ways we untwist our threads, unknowingly. I've had more trouble with some projects than others... so apparently the pattern can contribute to the problem as well.
