[quote=chris_quilts] Found out what was wrong with other bobbin, poorly wound and 3 different thread colors on it. I realize that's being frugal but give me a break!

Ya know, the minute I get a vintage bobbin I start unwinding the thread. The thread is old and rotten anyway, I would never try to use it; but, it is amazing how the people of earlier times always wound several thread colors on one bobbin. They must of used the bobbins to use up spools of thread that were nearly empty. I have found up to 5 different threads on one bobbin!

Have a very Merry Christmas and a grand New Year everyone!
