I agree with Clay. It does not really matter what pillow I use, but the
twist of the thread certainly makes a difference.

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!

Either a cookie pillow or a bolster is acceptable. The question comes
from the bobbin winding instructions.
For a cookie pillow, wind thread clockwise.
For a bolster pillow, wind thread counter clockwise.
Why the difference? Anyone know?
