THANK YOU! and I do love the internet for stuff like this!Linda Clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09353163651294176664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6608589772277647811.post-40451477967410464182012-01-20T12:04:30.068-08:002012-01-20T12:04:30.068-08:00I have also heard that if you drop your bobbin(met...I have also heard that if you drop your bobbin(metal ones) it can bend them just enough to throw off your tention so you should throw them away.
