Pre-wound bobbins
I'm doing a bit of on-line browsing today and came across pre-wound bobbins in a variety of attractive color tones. They seem awfully convenient.
https://www.superiorthreads.com/shop...-set-2-pastel/ https://www.superiorthreads.com/shop...-set-1neutral/ I have a Janome 4800QE and have yet to see pre-wound plastic bobbins with 100% cotton thread. I'm kind of reluctant to use cardboard-sided bobbins and, besides, I really don't want to use poly thread in the bobbin if I'm using cotton thread on top. What has your experience been with pre-wound bobbins? Thanks everyone!! I'll be waiting to hear from you. :) |
I'm curious too. I use prewounds all the time for embroidery, but not for anything else. the ones I use (NEBs) are poly and are a very thin thread (90 or 100??)

i have only used white. but i use them for piecing and for quilting on the frame. i like them
|
I admit I use them in my embroidery machine and in my sewing machine. I haven't had any problems with them. I bought them a few years ago on Ebay when the prices were still very reasonable so I stocked up. They have the plastic bobbin not the cardboard. I love the convenience of them.
|
I have a friend that likes them in her Janome Gem electronic version (forget what one). I have the regular Gem and they don't work in mine. go figure.
|
I use them all the time and love them. In fact, I liked Superior's Bottom Line pre-wounds so much, I switched to Bottom Line cones and now piece exclusively with it!
Another benefit to those assorted donuts of pre-wounds is they're great for appliqué. The thread sinks into the fabric as beautifully as silk, but it's cheaper to purchase the bobbin assortment instead of many spools of silk. |
Thank you so much for your input, Ladies. I appreciate it.
|
The only ones I have the thread was so poor it broke constantly - couldn't even use them to baste. So I won't use them again.
|
I have been told in quilting classes that one should NOT use pre-wound bobbins for piecing or normal sewing as the thread on them is not of the same weight as what you are stitching with on a spoil. They are meant to be used for embroidering.

i use them for embroidery they have much more on them than i can wined on the machine great for lace only ever used black +white---like the idea of using them for applique thank you pecish
