LMAO about the bobbin...you're so right about them. I had the cheap bobbins when I first started out...they drove me nuts!
A lot of people will recommend to a new guy that they can get their materials from Walmart and that is just not right! You can get some there if you know what good materials look like and can choose from them then, but to start you need good materials and good tools, IMHO!

A crappy bobbin can make you quit tying, LOL! I have some that work great, but I have a few that I can even use except for lead wire and yarn. It's not worth saving a few beans on your tools! If you can afford to by a bobbin with ceramic tube you are way better off.

I have about 25 bobbins and am looking at replacing probably about 10 of them
