Since we are on the subject of bobbins, here's a tip that took me yonks to figure out. After you unwind the length of thread you want to stitch with, anchor it in the tabs. Cut only the number of strands you need (1, 2, 3, or whatever) and strip those strands out. This leaves all the other strands still attached to the bobbin. If you're done with that colour, you just wind up the balance of the strands for the next time you use that colour. I find I no longer have to locate those 4 strands that fell on the floor, or attached themselves to me. I also no longer have to try to figure out if those 4 strands are VY LT GRN or LT GRN or ULTRA LT GRN, because they are still attached to the bobbin.
