Bobbins

Bobbins are an essential component of a sewing machine, holding the lower thread in place while the needle stitches from above. Different sewing machines may use specific bobbin types, and it's crucial to use the correct bobbins for your machine to ensure proper functioning.

Class 15 Bobbins: These bobbins are commonly used in many home sewing machines, including some Brother models. They are approximately 20.3mm (13/16 inch) in diameter and 11.7mm (15/32 inch) in height.

Class 66 Bobbins: Another standard bobbin type used in various sewing machines. They are about 20.6mm (53/64 inch) in diameter and 11.9mm (15/32 inch) in height.

Class 96 Bobbins: These are larger bobbins used in industrial sewing machines.

L Bobbins: Some sewing machines, particularly those manufactured by Singer, use L-style bobbins. They are approximately 20.3mm (13/16 inch) in diameter and 11.7mm (15/32 inch) in height.

M Bobbins: These bobbins are commonly used in Bernina sewing machines.

J Bobbins: Some Janome sewing machines use J-style bobbins.

When purchasing replacement bobbins, make sure to check your sewing machine's manual or consult the manufacturer's recommendations to determine the correct bobbin type for your specific model. Using the wrong type of bobbin can lead to stitching issues and may damage your sewing machine. Additionally, some bobbins are available in plastic or metal, and the material may also be specified for your machine.

It's always a good idea to have extra bobbins on hand, especially if you're working on multiple projects or using different thread colors frequently. This ensures a smooth and uninterrupted sewing experience.
