It also FILLS a good bobbin since it is thinner, it puts more on the bobbin which means fewer bobbin changes, and time saved! YEAH!

Wondering what othesr use in the bobbin and if you love 60wt as well.

I have found that it is not easy to find, and the color selection is lame...but I really do love it!
The woman who did long arm work for me once said she typically uses 60wt in the bobbin for quilting. I tried it and liked the results. I hadn't thought about using it in piecing. Will follow this thread (pun intended).
