    Default Embroidery bobbin thread

    What do you do with the thread left over on bobbin when you've had to run a new one for embroidering? Is it a good idea to transfer all the low thread bobbins to one? Curious if this will mess up a design.

    I use the partials piecing my quilts.

    I use the same bobbin until ALL thread is gone if project not finished
    embroidering before I just change bobbin and keep going.

    However since I do TONS of FSL I have bobbins with the same color
    of thread as I use with the top. I keep them in bobbin boxes and put
    a 1/2" dot sticker with the color # so I can match the same color as
    before.

    I don't waste ANY bobbin thread and ALL embroidery thread tails that
    is cut off goes into a special storage box with locking lid to be used in
    a art project someday.

    I also use all my partial bobbins when piecing and I just put the bobbin on the top spool so I can see what's going on better.
