On the thread chart for Bottom Line it says, "For bobbin, detail quilting, applique, lacework, binding, and much more." That sounds to me like it is not strictly for bobbins. However, that is ALL I am going to do with it from now on.

Bottom line is a thinner thread -- it is designed for the bobbin where the thread takes less abuse than running through the tension disks in the top. That said, some machines are less fussy than others and some folks have been able to use Bottom line on top without problems.

Tells you what needle you should be using and that your tension settings should be for domestic and LA.
Superior threads gives a needle recommendation so the thread is not intended for bobbin use only.
If you are getting alot of breakage I recommend changing your needle to Superior's recommendation and adjusting your tension.
Here is a wonderful guide Superior offers as a quick reference for tension and needles for all their wonderful products
