http://www.joann.com/bobbin-mate-18-pkg/7419534.html and I use Bobbin Wraps http://www.anniescatalog.com/detail.html?prod_id=92274 to keep the bobbin thread from unwinding. I haven't been able to find them locally so I have ordered them on line. They are used for little girls ponytails.

I found the little girl ponytail thingies at local dollar store.......cheaper than buying "bobbin wraps"......

I piece with either white or gray..........I don't quilt on DM so don't need colors...if I do sew anything of color I will fill or half fill a bobbin to match....then if any left will use that for piecing.......no one sees the color thread used in piecing except me as I am doing it.......for emb..I use prewound....
