Roland,
"black bobbin thread"........Sharon and I use Neb brand bobbins--the
plastic sided ones and have "0" problems with them...white or black!!!
I had to do a couple hundred caps with a 15000+ stitch edsign and used
black bobbins with them and "0" bobbin thread break with any of
them.....top thread breaks here and there but no bobbin breads with Neb
black/white bobbin thread.
