I suspect it has everything to do with what kind of thread you're using. Since I work mostly on a bolster, my threads behave. And I work mostly with s-twist threads. But, if I work on a cookie pillow, there is no difference unless I am working with z-twist threads, and they will untwist at an alarming rate.
I have made a mental note to avoid the z-twist. Too much aggravation!
