And another thought, if you first wind some thread onto a bobbin to carry along in a small handsewing kit, remember to knot the end the somes off the bobbin first - that is to say, in reverse direction that you would do if it were coming right off the spool.
Keeps the thread in the "forward" direction it was intended to go.
