I order from webofthreads.com or baysidequilting.com
BottomLine SuperBobs are great, preloaded on cardboard. I can quilt a queen with about 3.5 bobbins. Amie

Re: thread for machine quilting
For the best possible results that make any beginner machine quilter look like a pro I suggest using YLI silk thread for bobbin and top thread using a quality 60/8 needle. I use this:

It may be expensive but so is my time and the savings from doing it myself and most importantly it looks fantastic. The start and stops are hardly noticeable.

Too expensive for me. My LA quilter doesn't charge that much and does a great job. But thanks for the information and the site.
