When it comes to smooth running and consistent tension, some are very good and some are crap. Some time ago, we tested [with bobbin tension gauge and machine operation] a number of different bobbins and the ones found to perform the best were [in no particular order] .... - NEB's [plastic side] - Coats Tru-sew [cardboard side] - Magna-Glides [no side] Some of the "No Name" bobbins ran very poor. Tension readings were very inconsistent and varied by as much as 15 grams.
