I have the Brother PE770 embroidery machine only. It has a 5x7 field, which seems to be plenty large for what I do. Yes, I put embroidery thread in your bobbin. I match the bobbin thread with the color of my backing or if you want it to show more, you can use anything you like. Test it, because sometimes the top thread might pull a little towards the back. Then you might want to use same color on top and bottom. Of course, no stabilizer is needed when you go through all 3 layers.
