This all comes down to the kind of bobbin you are working with. Brother has a little hole, Viking and Pfaff don't, but may on the older models and Singer, I haven't a clue. Its what ever works for you and what ever your machine likes is what you should do to get the job done.

Prewounds are great for embroidery, but the tread is 60 weight and to light for machine piecing. The top and bobbin thread should match. (no I am not the quilting police) but you should match the weight of the thread top and bobbin to get your best seam.

Nothing wrong with what you are doing, but you are more likely to have wonky stitches near the end because the tension changes. My Bernina doesn't even have a hole. It's supposed to 'grip' the thread after you wrap it around 3 times. Yeah, well, never works for me. I wrap it 6 or 7 times for it to hold. Annoying because, as mentioned, the tension changes.
