My only issue with using bobbin thread is that it isn't as strong as regular thread. Don't know how it would hold up over time. I use it on machine embroidery, but it isn't getting any stress and is so dense there won't be a problem there. The amount of bulk regular thread adds to a seam would be so minimal that there shouldn't be a problem there. Our grandmothers didn't use bobbin thread and look what we have to remember them by.
