I second the use of Kevlar, although if your bobbin is the cause, Kevlar may be overkill. If you can find the ruby tipped bobbins, or a good ceramic, buy them. Worth every penny to have a few good bobbins, and use the others for dispensing lead, wire and yarns. My favourite thread is the Benecci 12/0 I find it stronger than the Uni 8/0 with less bulk. The only down side is the lack of colours I can find it in. I have just 7 as compared to the UNI which I have over 20 colours.
