I do understand! You should see my collection of rayon and
poly embroidery threads! Fortunately the embroidery machine
has the "endless bobbin" and I usually only have to switch
between white and black. Except for "lace" or a project
like the eyelets, where I wanted the bobbin thread to match
the lining because it would "show".... well at least to me.
