I think we tend to work best with the bobbins we are used to work with. In my case, Spanish continentals, which most of you may find too big. Mine are 10,5cm long and woodbox.
The first course I did of a technique different to torchon (many years ago) was a Tonder course. I had been told that each technique requires its specific bobbins and pillow, so I got borrowed a Danish pillow and bought the bobbins. The change of type of bobbins mixed with the technique I had never worked, made me go really slow! The next courses I did of a new technique, I took my most comfortable pillow and my own Continental bobbins. And I could work much faster. When attending a course, we want make the most of it, and if we are struggling with bobbins we are not used to work with, we really loose a lot of time. So, my opinion is that the best bobbins are always the ones we are used to! Best wishes and have a nice start of the week!
