I love the additional information added by your kitty. LOL!

Good information! I would add one caveat -- some modern metal bobbins don't work as well in the older machines. This goes for either type of bobbin. Most new bobbins we find in the US are made in China and are slightly less refined than the older bobbin styles. With the class 15 bobbins I find that the little notch that helps to hold the bobbin in place while winding is not as deep or as finely made. They don't seem to fill as evenly with thread. I always look for older bobbins in thrift stores for my machines that were made in the 50's. Some of the new chinese bobbins are slightly miss sized also and rattle more in the machine and seem to cause less precise stitching.

Totally agree! I try to get around that problem by sticking to brand names. So I'll get Singer bobbins for my Singers and Janome for Janome. But older plastic and metal bobbins are definitely the best if you can get them! Thanks for watching 🙂

In over 35 years (!!!) of machine sewing I've only seen bobbins break once, they were metal industrial ones and the winder was malfunctioning and shearing the top off! It broke 3! And I've got a dented industrial bobbin at work too, no idea why I'm hanging on to it. At least when plastic cracks or breaks you know it's done, you might not notice a dent in metal. Thanks for another great video

Great video, I agreed with it entirely except that you never mentioned the fact that sometimes people use the wrong size bobbin or buy industrial ones because they can buy more at a cheaper price. I was once given a 15k 80 to repair Because the owner had forced in an industrial bobbin!! Something to think about with second hand machines. But as you say, check the manual, and do your research. Looking forward to seeing the next video, keep them coming please! 😊

Funny you should say that.... bobbin sizes and the different types out there is something that will be coming up in a future video ;D

I always use metal bobbins for my machines I find there is a lot less thread issues and tensions issues, besides it would be weird using plastic in a machine over a hundred years old 😊
