Goodness where does everyone shop the first price they find? I would never pay that much over wholesale. They are $18 on sale for $14 here: https://quiltybox.com/shop/product/1791679416

I always prewash my fabrics and use the bobbins as top thread when zig-zagging the edges of my fabric before washing. Great way to use up all my bobbin thread. Also, use bobbin thread when piecing. I always put the bobbin on the up right spool pin with a felt pad underneath to keep the bobbin from spinning out of control. I make the circle felt pads out of left over batting and cut a small hole in the center (not perfect but they work).

Yes, I have done that.

I have used a bobbin as top thread a few times, but only if the color I really want is already on a bobbin. Have you ever run out of thread from the top thread? It's a real mess.
If you run out of thread in the bobbin where it belongs, it's just the end. Put in a new bobbin and you're good to go. If you run out of top thread while sewing, it's a mess and you have to untangle it and get rid of all that excess thread mucking up your seam. |
Cool idea. I normally use less than half filled bobbins for basting along the edges of my quilt instead of using the bobbin thread that will be used in the quilting process. I also use it for hemming the binding if its the correct color. One thing I don't do is pull it off and throw it away. Too costly these days.

Ok sorry ladies, I missed the "wonky" part. Thanks for the kindness!
