She said to try the same design with both our own wound bobbins and the prewound and notice the difference in quality. I haven't tried that yet but will sure do.
Thanks for pointing out the fact that there IS a difference between the L bobbins and the M bobbins, Charming. My machine uses the L bobbin which is also sold on that site (Superior Threads). In my haste for an answer, I linked to the M page by mistake. The fact is, I already have so many beautiful threads, I think I'd better use them up before I buy any more. I'll just fill up a few bobbins to have at the ready but I definitely see some of these pre-wound in my future. The company has a number of videos on youtube which are kind of interesting.
