:D I'M NOT WILD ABOUT THE PREWOUND. GET ONE OF THOSE LITTLE SIDEWINDER PORTABLE BOBBIN WINDERS BY WRIGHT. I BOUGHT MINE AT HANCOCK ON SALE BUT HAVE SEEN THEM IN CATALOGUES ALSO. MY MACHINE DOESN'T LIKE PLASTIC BOBBINS AND IT MAKES IT SO EASY TO WIND A BUNCH AND NOT DISTURB YOUR SEWING. MY FAVORITE THREAD FOR PIECING IS NEUTRAL OR GRAY AND NO I DON'T MATCH FABRIC. HAVE YOU TRIED THE NEW PRESENCIA? IT IS GREAT BUT MOST BRANDS ARE FINE.
