Then you are very lucky, but a $5 bobbin is usually getting to a good enough one. The $2 & $3 ones though I have had more bad than good. There is nothing like the good ceramic ones though. Also if you work with smaller thread say 6/0 and smaller it can be trouble. I have had lots of them cut my thread under the tube and that is enough to make me crazy.
Not saying you need a $12 or $15 bobbin, but don't like the real cheap ones as they just cut your thread at both ends.
