A friend of mine asked me to help him put more thread on his bobbin. I asked him when was the last time that he filled his bobbin. He said not since his wife died: almost 20 years ago.
Well, at least he does use his sewing machine for patching small stuff!
The Eldredge Two Spool uses a small size spool for the bobbin. Those hold 125 yards. Most bobbins hold about 35 yards, depending on thread size, tension and how full you fill it. Some say that not quite full bobbins sew better.
Peckish has a very good post (no. 10) that gives a lot of good information.
