Solution? Try just very slightly loosening BOTH the top tension and the bobbin tension. Problem: Have you ever experienced frustration from knowing you have the correct bobbin tension setting but the top thread still breaks? You loosen the top thread but then you get loops? Solution? Using thick, heavy and/or decorative threads in the bobbin requires LOOSENING the bobbin case tension. Problem: The bobbin thread keeps jamming and snapping. This way you can see what you are doing but in the event you accidentally turn it the wrong way or turn it too far and the little screw pops out you won't have to search forever to find it. Hint: Perform the tightening or loosening adjustments to the bobbin case inside a large ziplock bag. Remember the clockwise 'turning' rule: lefty loosey, righty tighty. Solution? Tighten your bobbin case tension just a smidge (less than 1/8th of a turn). The bobbin threadД¬auses a backlash (continuing to unwind, forming a loop) then when you start sewing again the force of motion will whip forward causing the thread to break. If you are experiencing problems when using a smooth and fine bobbin thread, like The Bottom Line or SuperBOBs, it is likely that your bobbin case's factory settings are not applying the breaks correctly when you come to a stop.

The following picture is the best image I have ever seen demonstrating balanced tension and solutions (scroll down for a text link to a printable version): You want a balanced stitch and that means even thread on the top and the bobbin without either poking through to the other side.

Yet, SuperBOBs have the strength needed to match most all top threads in most all sewing situation (with the exception of very thick and heavy denims, upholstery, etc.). Choosing the same thread for the bobbin is absolutely fine if you want to wind your own. Heavier fabrics generally require heavier threads. Is dependent upon the needs of the project (fabric type & weight), the function of the item As with selection of the 'top' thread, the choice of the bobbin thread There is no one-size-fits-all answer to bobbin thread selection.
