I never had a problem with the metal ones but these plastic ones I've noticed they can warp. Also, I over filled a bobbin the other day and the top popped off and went flying.

Thank you, didn't know but I have marked a few bobbins in the past because of problems that I thought the bobbins were the problem, will go roll them and all the others. Makes sense. Betty

When I used to work in the jewelry store , we did this with pearls to show the difference with fresh water and cultured pearls.

Thank You for this hint. I have found the plastic bobbins do not appreciate being stood on either.

Now I have to ask. Do you need to be taller that you have to stand on bobbins?
