Frugal is one thing, but winding over other thread is a wasted effort. More trouble than it's worth.

Joe, this is a very good point! Another reason to not wind those bobbins with different colored threads! Some machines like my 319w in treadle are a pain in the you know what to change the bobbins anyway! It is always better to start with full bobbin!
