I like my spangles small and neat, just big enough to stop the bobbins rolling and give a little tension on the thread but small enough to not make sewings in my Milanese lace harder. I struggle with continental bobbins and don't enjoy my lace as much when I use them. I like my bobbins smooth and slender too.
