Sigh.
I got home from work earlier that night and wound 20 bobbins for my own sewing machine. Yeah, I know, really boring to do, but there is nothing like being able to grab a bobbin and pop it in your machine when you have run one out. It's such a luxury to just reach over and grab a full one, pop it in the machine and then just GO!
BTW, the grey thread I use is Presencia 60 wt cotton thread, color # 352. It is a 3 ply 100% mercerized Egyptian cotton. I buy a cone of 4882 yards. And even though it might take me a few months to go through one, I ALWAYS have a spare. Because running out is such a PITA. Right now the spare one is on my Bernina, which Julie will use. When we visit QT when she visits I will buy another one to have as a "spare."

I have always stayed in bed until recently and I hopped up and did stuff......much better as the mind got distracted from what I was thinking about....nice bird......
If I wake up in the middle of the night I "usually" fall asleep again. If an hour goes by, then I just get up and do something. I'm retired, so I can always grab a nap later in the day. I always prewind bobbins. I usually keep about 10 on hand and I build my "stock" just before starting a new project.
When I can't go back to sleep at 1-2 am, the only things I do are watch TV or read. I usually fall asleep in the chair after a bit. I don't want to do anything that makes too much noise, as I don't want to wake DH.
I've been winding multiple bobbins, only 4-5 though, for the last couple of years. It's so nice to do a quick clean & swap. Spares are good, especially now, since it's not known if things will be available when it's needed.
