if you're sewing on a Jenome you can buy prewound bobbins at
http://www.superiorthreads.com - Masterpiece are cotton, Bottom Line are poly and last forever (I've made a twin quilt with one bobbin)
One word of caution the Jenome takes a BL bobbin but my Jenome Gold and Platinum will not let me use it as the top thread at the same time. Strangely enuf my Bernina takes BL top and bobbin, but the prewounds have to be rewound onto a Bernina bobbin.
Such is life.
