Unhappy How much thread on a bobbin?
Hi All,
A long while ago, I saw a chart that described the amount of different thread would fit on many different bobbins, but am not able to find it now.

Has anyone scene one like that lately? And where did you find it?

Thanks for the help.
Mike

Superior Threads has a chart on home wound bobbins. Of course, your results may differ based on thread weight, inability to not wind too fast, etc.

Regardless of the kind of thread or bobbin, there is always 6" less than you need to finish the seam.

Thank ChrisB,
I did see that list, but it isn't as complete as the one I saw awhile back.
