I keep modern, good-quality TESTED metal bobbins for 66k, 99k, 201k, 15k Singers (see below) and I try to have at least some bobbins and shuttles for older and more obscure machines. I prefer not to supply the latter for machines that are not being used - if you just want to put it on the shelf and admire it, please do not order "extras"..
If you have a working shuttle, look after it, please..
If you have a particular need, please be precise - machine model number, length and width of bobbins, type of shuttle etc..
I also have shuttle adjustment keys, bobbin cases, and hooks....
Page updated regularly, with some new stuff and a lot of under-the-breath muttering
I've been polishing stuff, so most of the vintage ones are clean(er) |
Round Bobbins |
NOTE:- Anything you find elsewhere labelled Universal is better described as Useless.
As with hats, One Size Does Not Fit All... |
66 Class BobbinsPlease note that my new metal bobbins of this type have been tested and are suitable for all 66/99/201/185 etc. machines. Some of the other modern bobbins you can get now have a smaller hole and do not fit on the winder spindle..
Older machines are designed to work with metal bobbins, please use them.. |

Other Round Bobbins - Probably or Certainly Industrial |
I have lots of industrial bobbins, but I am not really an expert on these, or particularly enthralled. Mostly I get enquiries from people wanting "cheap" and that's not what I do. I do "old" and "interesting" first..
Try your local man first, and bear in mind that many are still available new...
