QUESTION #2- How many bobbins do you have or need? I can buy 50 bobbins (not prewound) for a great price ($9.99). Is that to many? Not enough? HELP ME PLEASE!!
I know lots of people use the prewound bobbins but I personally don't see the reason too. Especially when piecing I want the thread to be the same on the top and bottom so I wind my own bobbins. Plus they don't come in very many colors so you're limited if you're using them for quilting. Most prewound bobbins are really for embroidery because they're very fine thread and most of them are poly.
