I have been doing LA quilting for a few years and I have thrown out a lot of thread from unwinding bobbins to use for a new color. So, my question to others is what is more cost effective unwind bobbins or buy new more bobbins. I use Aurifil so it is quite expensive to throw so much thread.. just thinking??

Can you rewind them on a bobbin for your DSM and use them for piecing?

If I can, I will take the bobbin and use my dsm and wind extra thread on one it's bobbins.

Ummm, never thought of rewinding on for my DSM, what a good idea. This IS a good board!

That is a great idea transferring bobbin to bobbin for any machine!

That's what I do, wind it on to a DSM bobbin.

If the thread color works with your binding you can use it to stitch on the binding and hand sew the last part.

I take my LA bobbins to me domestic machine & wind them onto sewing bobbins to use them up piecing.
