I'm working on a practice sample of a small whole cloth quilt - my first! I have heard that you are supposed to use the same thread in the bobbin as on the top, so I wound a bunch of bobbins in the colors I'm going to use, bright hues of red, orange, yellow, blue and green. Then I found out this thread is too thick to work in the bobbin and the top! I just could not get the tension right until I put in a thinner bobbin thread.
So, my question is, instead of wasting all this nice thread that's wound on the bobbins, can I just use the bobbins as if they are spools on the top?

Thank you, ladies. I have never done it (hadn't even thought of it before) and wondered if it would unwind from the bobbin too easily compared to a spool of thread. I will have much less wasted thread in the future!
