It was at this URL: softer.

I use bobbin thread all the time and have never had a problem. My favorite is Superior's Bottom Line in natural color. It is strong and well-made. The owner of Superior Threads gave a presentation at a LQS and he said it is good as the TOP thread, too, so I have been doing that and LOVE it! Since it comes on big spools as well as smaller ones, I sit and fill 10-12 bobbins at a time and then I'm ready to go! very economical.
