Hi all,
I've searched the archives but haven't found the answer to this
particular question: I have about 140 bobbins on my pillow, 120/2
thread, and
of the 140 one bobbin particular keeps unwinding--i.e. the working
length of
the thread (thread leash) on that bobbin gets longer than on the other
bobbins. I wound all of them at the same time, same spool of thread, of
course wound the same direction. What might I have done during
winding to
cause that one to misbehave? I can't see a consistent difference.
Tightness?
Thanks.

I've also found this happens and it usually seems to be because of the
characteristics of the bobbin itself. I have one with a very tiny head
which is particularly shiny and this is often the one that slips down
lengthening the leash. Another has very light spangles and doesn't lie
as flat as the others so the hitch comes loose and the thread leash
lengthens. Perhaps the answer llies in the bobbin not the thread?
