A set of 4 napkins. The sunflower is from OESD, Oklahoma Embroidery and my notes say 2 1/2in Old Script. Don't know where that is from. It is a really fancy L. Funny thing!! While stitching, my cardboard sided bobbin ran out and I popped in a plastic prewound and it was not stitching as well. Stopped the machine and changed the bobbin back to cardboard and all is well again. I have not had any trouble in the past with plastic. Which one do you use? Kay

Probably best. I do like the idea of the prewound holding more thread.

Very nice. I only use Bernina bobbins on my Bernina machines. I use cardboard pre-wound bobbins on my long arm (Tin Lizzie) and they work best !

Have you ever tried prewound on your Bernina? Does the Tin Lizzie take an odd size bobbin. I saw one at the Atlanta Quilt and sew show. I think they are out of Utah.

Nice job - very festive!! (of course, I am partial to "L"'s!!)lol I use plastic bobbins from Metro. I am so spoiled being able to just pop in a new one when needed!!

Wow, I just checked my boxes and one says NEB and the other one says Exquisite. Now I don't know which one gave me trouble. Maybe, I should mark the bobbin with a sharpie pen to find the culprit!!

I wound my bobbins also until about 2 yrs ago and tried a sample of prewound and was happy with the results.

I hope I find a sunflower lover out there some where. I like sunflowers also. Guess that is why I bought the napkins.

I have tried both bobbins. They work, but, the quality of the cardboard sided ones works best for me.

I do enjoy using the prewound. It saves so much time winding bobbins.

Thanks, I did not make them. Think they were purchased at Tuesday Morning. I get a lot of my kitchen towels and napkins there.

Very beautiful for fall. I just purchased the prewound from Metro yesterday, getting 144 plastic sided bobbins, I hope they work. They have been out of stock for a long time. Great job, beautiful napkins, ~Carolyn~

This is a very pretty font. Lovely work. This may be a silly question but what does the L stand for? Hugs Marg
