I pretty much do the same thing with the exceptions that I fill
10+ bobbins with white, beige, and black thread for sewing.
However since I use MANY colors also I fill bobbins with the
color I am using/wanting at that time.
Now with my embroidery ANY time I am stitching something
that is fsl (free standing lace) I use the same color thread in
the bobbin that I use for the top. I also keep 20+ bobbins filled
of black & white bobbin thread for all other embroidery projects.
I have about 200 (give or take 25 or so) bobbins mainly for my
embroidery.

Have picked up some more empties, so will fill more next time. I am surprised just how much time it takes one at a time, not to mention disrupting the sewing. Just a random thought for this cold, cold day.
