Bobbin thread stays invisible and still decides the result. Bobbin keeps the reverse of an embroidery flat. At 1000 m per spool the thread lasts across many projects. This web is available in Black.
A spool this size survives many projects before it runs out. Bobbin thread is the component nobody talks about and which still shapes the result: it decides whether the reverse stays flat or builds up. Before the first design on a new fabric, a test piece with the same material pays off.

Frequently asked questions
Can I sew with it on top?
Better not. This thread is built for fineness rather than visibility or strength. As a top thread the seam reads thin and takes less strain.
Why does the bobbin thread show through?
Because top and bobbin tension work together. If the bobbin pulls too hard, it comes up at the edges. Loosening the top tension settles it.
How do I store the spool?
Upright, dry and out of the light. Dust on the thread carries lint into your machine, and it gathers in the hook area of all places.
What if the bobbin thread breaks?
Check the bobbin case and brush out the hook area. Usually a nest of lint sits there, or the thread has caught under the bobbin.
