Default Re: Bobbin Thread colour? Always White?

I probably use white bobbin thread 90% of the time, but I do use black and other colors as needed. I also use black bobbin thread for dark lettering or designs that are all dark to eliminate the white showing through. When I'm doing project that is visible from both sides, such as lace oranments or an applique/in-hoop project then I use the same color as the top but I use 60 wt thread in bobbin. It's easy to find almost any color in 60 wt thread, but 70 wt bobbin thread only seems to be readily available in white and black. Of course I wind my own bobbins using this 60 wt thread.
