Where do you get the Bottom Line thread? Can you get it at JoAnn's or Hancock's or do you have to buy online?

Bottom line is polyester...I don't do polyester. Especially for piecing.

I get it at Joanns

Now, I like your idea best of all. Are you working on that invention... in your spare time?! LOL :lol:

I never seem to have enough bobbins filled or empty. Sandy

That's one reason I love to use Bottom Line thread from Superior. You can put so much thread on the bobbin, it lasts a lot longer. And I fill up quite a few bobbins at one time so I don't have to stop and fill one up each time I run out.

some quilt shops carry it and Bob Purcell vends at the really big shows.
I see a comment that someone got it at her Joanns; mine doesn't carry it.

ABSOLUTELY!!! WHY can't that be done? I know how a sewing machine works in that the top thread goes around the whole bobbin to pull up each stitch. Seems to me that the bottom thread could come off a spool, loop around a "bobbin case" and get pulled for a stitch, then the next, and so on.

[quote=gollytwo]Our Joann's doesn't carry it either. They have other brands.

I keep thinking: Why don't they make a bobbin where you just use your spool of thread and run it through the bobbin mechanism. Then you'd almost never have to change the bobbin. I learned something last night: I was making a label and putting a decorative stitch around the edge. Right, ran out of bobbin thread. I wasn't easy to get my pattern lined up again so there was no break in the pattern. Moral of the story: Always have a full bobbin when doing decorative stitches. I learned the hard way.
