I've never heard of this either. I fill about 5 bobbins to the brim before I start and I don't seem to have any problems with it....unless....I haven't wound it properly :roll:
Those are the days "I'm not FMQ'ing with a full bobbin"..LOL...love the phrasing!

I have never had a problem with a full bobbin when doing FMQ. Maybe her machine over fills the bobbin and would create a problem by not letting the thread flow off freely. Other than that, I'm sorry, but don't understand her way of thinking. I want a full bobbin because one has to refill often anyway without starting with a bobbin 3/4's full.

I think my FMQ is OK, anyway, I don't have tension issues - only when I'm down to the last few inches in the bobbin. Perhaps this is just a quirk of her machine? But I LOVE the 'new' expression 'she's not FMQing with a full bobbin'! :lol: :lol: :lol:
