    Yup, I need more bobbins too. I only have 2. I usually suck the thread thru the bobbin but yesterday bought a bobbin threader at bass pro for $1.99. I couldn’t find the right style dental floss thing.

    Sometimes, you can get a bad tread. It happens. Just saying.

    Also, as I told Cane Pole a while back, if it persists you can always go to Kevlar thread. Stuff is tough beyond anything we use, but I have no first hand experience. Don’t know about colors either.

    Lots of reasons the thread may be breaking as mentioned a bur in the bobbin or catching the hook point when wrapping or too much pressure. Since I guess your using 210 Flat Waxed I would first look at the bobbin. I went through a lot of cheap bobbins before I just moved up in price and got better bobbins. Some bobbins that have the little insert on the tip and are still low cost, then insert may come unglued and then it's a real pain to fix so again a little higher priced bobbins will cure any trouble they may be giving you. Also if it comes down to your heavy handed and just breaking it, maybe you break down ads get a Rite Bobbin that has pressure control so you can over pressure it.
