Just be careful not to use the REGULAR thread ones for embroidery. I did, and it made a mess. Embroidery needs lighter thread for bobbins.

You should take the cardboard off the bobbin, so the sensor will work.

Yes - the cardboard side that will be on the outside of the bobbin.

I never thought that I would use prewound bobbins, I changed my mind, when I got my big embroidery machine, it came with several, I can get them cheap, in bulk in white, I usually use them for emboidery, I did find them in color once but the store since went into retirement. I have left the cardboard on and taken it off, the sensors work better with it off. As it is compressed the thread doesn't unravel on them when you do this. They do have more thread on them. I have not used prewound withthe long arm yet, they are harder to find and I have to go to yet another store for them. It came with a bobbin winder that is really fast though as well so I wind my own to match color better.

It does save a lot of time, especially when I can use 6 or more just on the embroidery machine alone, let alone if I am sewing and or quilting at the same time.

If I am really on a roll, I can have the big brother (pr620) going the brother 8500 or something(not sure) and sew or quilt at the same time. I tend to go though a lot of thread on those days.

Ive used the clear plastic ones and like them. They do hold alot of thread.
Got mine thru Quilt in a Days website.
