When I'm piecing, I went through maybe 3 or more bobbins in half of a day. Quilting, today I went through 4+ of them and only was quilting for less than 2 hours. My bobbins are also full bobbins right to the edge minus about a 1/16 or less of an inch. I use 50wt thread for everything.
It really depends on what type of quilt I am making. The above is on my latest quilt in progress.
To the OP:
It really depends on how much time you are sewing/quilting. Are you quilting more? Or perhaps making a pattern that has more seams? If not, are you using the same company to buy the pre-wound bobbins from? It might be good to check the company reviews to see if others are having the same issues.
