Same here. I have also used the balance of the pre-wound thread and regular bobbins (after your machine says change bobbins because you are low) - I have used up the rest of that thread in the top of machine sewing. I was a post-war baby and my mom taught me not to waste anything if at all possible, thread included. :-)
Same here! I use every little bit of it. When I am embroidering I just watch it really close and let the bobbin run out then stop it immediately, change out bobbin, and back up the stitching to a stitch or two before the stitch it ran out on. I don't like to waster any thread.
