And i do need to get same size bobbins the ones i have been buying lately are not as tall. Thank you for any help.. Always use the bobbins that are for your exact brand of sewing machine. Bobbin sizes do matter. If you continue to have troubles with thread catching, there may be a rough spot on the hook. If the sewing machine has not a professional service within the last year or two, a good sewing machine technician will get it back to like-new condition.
My Epic does not fill my bobbin all the way. There is still so much space left. Is there somewhere to adjust this? Yes, move the bobbin winder lever away from the bobbin. It shows with a torx screw driver but you can move it with your fingers. Yes, you can purchase bobbins for the Husqvarna Viking at your local Husqvarna Viking sewing machine store. Hello — I have plastic bobbins that came with my Brother CE Are all plastic top loading bobbins made the same ie.
Thanks for your reply! You will want to order bobbins that are for your exact machine. Most Brother machines use the generic plastic class 15 bobbin. I bought a used White sewing machine model The plastic bobbins that came with it feel very cheap and lightweight. The manual does not specify what bobbin I should be using.
The White sewing machine takes standard Class 15 bobbins either metal or plastic. Have the machine serviced and ask them what tension they set the bobbin case for: plastic or metal bobbins. Thank you for your article, cannot believe I read every comment! I have a Singer Quantum XL1 that was gifted to me by a person who could not fix it for herself.
I got it running BUT it only came with one bobbin…. JoAnns does not carry that bobbin…. Mine are metal but this is ludicrous running all over town trying to find the right bobbins.
More delays on a major project! I am quite unhappy to have to return the bobbins and nowhavingto take the machine with me…. I am wondering if the last person could not fix it and gave it to you, the machine might need to be serviced by a professional service person. I have a Kenmore 16 machine. Obviously it is very old.
I have it serviced every couple of years. My sewing machine book does not say which type of bobbin to use and I have had the machine for so many years I have no idea what came with it!
In order to prevent problems in the future, how would I find out this information. Sears no longer exists in Canada — that is where I bought it of course — so I have no idea where to get information. I live in a city of , — you would think there would be more then one repair shop! Anyway, if you can tell me what type of bobbin I should be using I would really appreciate that information. I learned a lot from your article. The metal bobbins are correct for this machine.
Actual yardage that a bobbin holds depends on the thickness of thread you are winding on the bobbin. Any help would be appreciated.
Trying to find solutions for my better half. I would recommend visiting your local Husqvarna Viking Service Center for both of those issues they should be able to take care of both of those for you. Very informative and good advice I am 90 years young and still learning, wish I had seen this years ago. I have an older Brother xl machine. The manual calls for a SA bobbin, but I was told to buy the 66 bobbin for it.
Which is correct? The Brother xl should be just a standard class 15 plastic bobbin. If they look just alike and they are really different will it mess up my machine. I have a Janome machine which uses plastic bobbins. I noticed there are two holes on each side of the bobbin. One round and one rectangular. Is there a use for both holes? The bobbin holder moved!! Came up and went sideways down inside of the machine. Sincerely, Newbie to new. You can have your sewing machine looked at at a local sewing machine store in you area.
They will be able to let you know if it is fixable or not. I am new to sewing and was given a Brother LX Hi Samantha, We have not worked with that machine but would assume you could use a plastic class 15 bobbin.
Hi Valery, We would recommend taking your vintage Singer to your local sewing machine store and have them fit a bobbin to the machine. Some of the older machines it is hard to say exactly which bobbin fits it without trying out bobbins. Thanks and happy sewing! I have a Brother Innovis e embroidery machine and am currently making my christmas cards.
Each card uses a whole bobbin, so I buy pre-wound bobbins in bulk, as they are much cheaper and better wound than you can do on the machine. The bobbins are plastic type L which is important, as type M bobbins are available, but they are for multi-needle industrial machines. Threads here in the UK are much more expensive than in the US.
Ebay is a good source but make sure you buy the correct bobbins. Hi Sara I want to buy a sewing machine for free motion embroidery. Some of my friends and local dealers told me Front loading bobbins are much better than top bobbins specially for free motion because of less tention.
Let me know your opinion about it. Hi, Both top loading and front loading bobbin sewing machines will free motion quilt.
I would recommend taking time to try out different machines and find the one that feels right to you. You are also looking for a store that offers education and service to you after your purchase. I personally love machine quilting on a Bernina which has a front loading bobbin.
I was gifted a Husgavarna series 1 embroidery machine. I am still learning how to use it. I purchased the husgavarna bobbins and bobbin thread, and am experiencing some issues with the thread not winding correctly.
My question is, can I thread it the same way as you did in your video? Just make sure the thread is tight not fluffy on the bobbin. If you continue to have issues, please have your local sewing machine service center check it out for you.
Hi Sandra, The innovis machines are set for plastic bobbins only. Please avoid using metal bobbins in this machine. Hi Mary, If you own a Pfaff or a Husqvarna Viking, the ridge in the middle helps tell the machine when the bobbin runs out. The bobbin sensor can see through the lower area when the thread runs out and alerts the user the bobbin is almost empty.
What bobbins do I use. Should I be using plastic or metal and what number. Also I think I might be over filling the bobbins. Any help would be most helpful.
Thank you so much. Hi Susan, I believe that model takes plastic bobbins but I would consult the manual or an authorized brother sewing machine dealer. I assume you must be implying that this is not a good thread to use. I have found I get more lint if I use that brand.
This is one thread to avoid using in any sewing machine. I have a Husqvarna Emerald I have received conflicting information about what bobbins it is supposed to use. What size? It is the same bobbin Janome uses in their sewing machines and it super easy to find in most sewing machine and fabric stores. Mr Brother Embroidery machine uses a size 15 bobbin and my Singer sewing machines uses a 15J.
There are both clear bobbins, I fear I may have mixed some of the up, is there any easy way to tell the bobbins apart?
The 15J is slightly smaller than the regular class 15, and the edges have a slight curve towards the center. I have 50 bobbins from previous machines but only 4 for my Brother A80 so is there any way i can tell myself if any of them will fit this new machine? Are they still available? Contact your local Viking store and give them your model number. They will be able to help you with your bobbins.
I have been having trouble with my tension. It looks great on top thread but bottom is like a straight line. I have read my instructions on how to fix this but still cannot seem to get it exact. What can I do? Try tighten your top tension to correct the line of thread you are seeing on the back of your fabric. If you get no results, it might be time for a professional to clean your machine and reset all the tensions.
I have a old singer, manufactured in , I have always used metal bobbins but purchased some plastic ones from joanns. They seem to be the same size, but they are to narrow for the tension arm to go down into the the bobbin to fill it. It could be either. We would recommend taking your machine to a local sewing machine service center and they can tell you the correct bobbins you should be using. I inherited a vintage Princess Model sewing machine that works well.
Can you please help? Thanks much. Hi Denise, We are not exactly sure which model this in. We would recommend taking the machine into your local sewing machine store and have a service person look at. They will be able to tell you exactly which bobbin is correct. I have a Babylock Zest, Jubilant, and Ellageo and Pfaff do they all take the same size bobbins or different sizes?
What is the new name for the Zest and Jubilant sewing machines as I heard they changed the names of them. Babylock and Pfaff sewing machine take different bobbins. Sorry, I was not able to find a Pfaff Did you mean a different model number? I have a janome L travelmate sewing machine that belonged to my mom, what size bobbin should I be using. The Janome sewing machines use the clear class 15 bobbins.
I am new to sewing and just bought a brother csii. Does the bobbin need to be taken out and re threaded each time you cut the thread after each use? Hi Elsa, No, you do not need to. Even through you can not see the bobbin thread, just start sewing your next seam. The bobbin thread will come up. Hi I have an Elna Envision I was told that plastic is ok. Which are the right ones for me to use. Hi Susan, We would recommend having your local sewing machine store help you with your tension issue and to make sure you are using the correct bobbins.
It might also just need a good service and it will be back to new. I have a Husqvarna Viking Designer Topaz I purchased a package of plastic bobbins in different colors on the advice of the sales person at Husqvarna Viking. Upon attempting to use said bobbins, I had nothing but issues.
I noted that each bobbin has a number on it. It varies from Can you tell me what the numbers mean? I did find that my machine seemed to prefer the number 10 bobbin which was discovered through much trial and error and a huge waste of thread!! The machine itself came with green plastic bobbins, but I purchased my machine used.
It was traded in by someone. This information is critical to the use of the machine so why is there no information on it given to the owner? But, to help you, there has been colorful bobbins that have not worked well in the Viking machines. Our recommendation is to purchase the original Husqvarna Viking green bobbins from your local Husqvarna Viking store.
These will work better for you. I sat up to read your complete questions and answers and really enjoyed them. I am 84 years old and learned to sew by playing with my Grandmothers treadle sewing machine. I still have my Singer that my parents bought for me when I was in the 7th grade. I spend the majority of my indoor time in my sewing room and my outdoor time in my yard with my orchids and other flowers. My advice to anyone with a machine is to keep it clean and oiled. I have an attachment for my vacuum cleaner that I use very often and then use a compressor to blow any loose threads or dust out Keep your machines clean and they will serve you well.
I have a Kenmore sewing machine I can not remember if it is supposed to use plastic or metal bobbins also I bought some plastic class 15 bobbins when I went back a week later I bought another pack but when I got home I noticed the bobbins are same height and diameter but one pack has a lip around the bobbin edge and the other one does not.
Does that make a difference. I have a White Jeans Machine Model Bought at thrift shop and no bibbins came with it and the manual does not give any info. Any guess as to what bobbins this machine would take? Yes, you can use the Class 15 metal bobbins.
Why are all sewing machines designed with tiny bobbins that do not hold as much thread as the top thread spool? For the two threads to connect with each other, the top thread needs to link around the bobbin to create the stitch. Some machines do have bigger bobbins like the Bernina sewing machines. This video shows a machine with big bobbins! I bought a used Shark Intelli-Sew Euro-Pro without any bobbins and I cannot figure out which bobbins to buy…not in the manual or online.
Is there a way to find this out? I have a husky machine and am hsving awful time winding these plastic bobbins! No matter how slow I wind the bobbin and how little tension on the thread the bobbin will not release from the takeup post.
It seems the thread is squeezing the bobbin center and it gets stuck onto the takeup post. Only way to get it off is to completely unwind the bobbin! Any suggestions greatly appreciated!!!
If the thread is on a vertical thread pin, try it on a horizontal thread pin or use a thread stand. I received my machine a couple of weeks ago via Singer. However, local dealers are closed due to Covid I am in love with this machine! You are welcome to call our store, Heirloom Creations, at for bobbins and accessories. We are happy to ship.
I recently purchased a Husqvarna Jade 20 sewing machine. Love it! Any ideas?? I have a hobby Janome Home mini. Can this machine use other feet? Like for zipper foot and edge foot? Can I use Metal bobbins? Look for Janome branded feet for your Janome Home mini. Hi Sara, I was wondering, why are bobbins so small? It feels like a hassle to have to change it out to constantly.
Not all sewing machines have small bobbins. Next time you are shopping for a sewing machine make sure you check out all the brands. I just purchased a Husqvarna Emerald , and have threaded the bobbin but cant seem to lift it off. Dont want to break the machine, any quidance?

Other than that, there is no difference. Just make sure the design of the Class 15 bobbin matches the design of the SA It measures about It will be the size of a nickel and has a security notch for better winding. The package says Brother on it and there should be 10 bobbins inside ready to work with you on your next sewing project.
There may be only 2 alternatives to the SA bobbin. One is the Class 15 SA style bobbin and the other is the Janome Either one should be interchangeable with the Brother SA bobbin. Even though they may look the same, there are vital differences that will cause the replacement to malfunction in your machine. If not then you should stick with the Brother SA bobbin.
Bobbins play an important role in sewing. Processing and shipping does not take place on weekends or holidays. Also, the free shipping policy does not apply to large or heavy items that require special shipping methods such as assembled industrial sewing machines and some sewing cabinets.
Brother Bobbins Bobbins are used in sewing machines in order to create a seamless stitch. A bobbin feeds thread under the fabric so that the sewing machine can connect the top and bottom thread together in order to stitch together multiple layers of fabric.
