I must have a hundred partially filled bobbins (M size). I use them as is on my home machine..just like a spool of thread...don't even rewind them onto anything else...unless I need bobbin thread..then I wind from the big bobbins, if the big bobbin contains sew fine or 60 wt thread. Both my machines are sewing/embroidery, and regular 40 wt thread does not do well in the bobbin cases of those machines. I do use the 40 wt poly threads for embroidering monograms, etc...small items. I've been so busy though...no time for much other than quilting.
