Were the pre-wound a better buy or, are they just convenient? (Nothing wrong with convenience, that's for sure!) _:-)_

I have used about 300 or so. I can easily use 3-4 bobbins on one embroidery project. I think the one here:http://ck.upickem.net/engine/Details...sionID=4171667 used 2+ bobbins per face! The whole picture was over 150,000 stitches. It was done on a Brother PR600 machine.

That's a lot of thread! I don't have an embroidery machine but, if I contemplate buying one, I'll start stocking up Now!
