Mary Beth Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Have you all tried the Masterpiece Prewound Bobbins? I love the colors. I looked on the thread chart on Superior's site, but I didn't see Masterpiece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sams Mom Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 MB, I use Masterpiece to piece with and use the prewounds. The last set I received has plastic coated bobbin instead of the cardboard. Some of the bobbins are mis-shaped and either don't fit in the bobbin case or I've had to replace because of the bad tension on the DM. I love Superior thread but I don't like the new prewound plastic coated bobbins. Donna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clovismom Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 I love the superior pre wound bobbins. Once on their website go to prewound bobbins and then there is a tab for masterpiece http://www.superiorthreads.com/shop/category/l-style-85-yds-126/products/ Raquel Birch APQS California Rep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sylvia Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Hi Mary Beth I use the Masterpiece prewounds ( plastic ) and they work just fine in my Millennium. Still prefer poly bobbin thread for strength, but like the weight of MP. And, since I started buying Masterpiece for piecing my own quilts I don't want to use anything else. Happy Quilting Sylvia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreadWaggle Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Mary Beth, I have used the prewound masterpiece with cardboard sides in my longarm with KT in the top. They worked great. I do run my tension looser then normal when I use them in the bobbin. I use them in DSM too. I am getting addicted to prewound bobbins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgene Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 I too am addicted to prewounds, it seems. I have been using the Masterpiece prewounds in my Millie for some time now. I thought the plastic sides were an improvement, because at times, the bobbin flat spring has gotten stuck in the cardboard sides of other prewouds.....sliced into it.....and caused tension problems. I haven't had this happen with the plastic sides. I haven't used too many of the plastic ones yet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Isn't that what Superior puts on their pre-wounds now? The last show I went to, I thought they told me that they were switching from bottom line to master piece? I bought a bunch but haven't used them because I'm totally in love with Fil-tech's magna-quilt prewounds. I've had my machine for almost 3 years and haven't wound my first bobbin.

Georgene Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Gator, I think it's the Coats cotton prewound that is being replaced by the Masterpiece. I liked the Coats fine, but more Masterpiece thread fits on the bobbin, and that's always good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Thanks Georgene, I couldn't remember what they told me at the Quilt Show, I know I bought a bunch of the Master Piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chocoholic Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Donna, you should call Superior and tell them about the misshapen bobbins. They want to know about things like this. I haven't seen anything on their website about them discontinuing the Bottom Line bobbins. When they first came out, they said the Masterpiece bobbins were for piecing and also for hand work.
