Brother Sewing and Embroidery Bobbins 10-Pack, SA156,Clear

These are OEM bobbins; unlike generic bobbins, they actually fit the sewing machine and work. What more could you want?

Make sure you buy one that goes with sewing machine you have.

Brothers sewing machines require bobbins of the same brand. If you try to use other brands, you will not be able to use them. This is not a major issue, but it would be nice to use any other brand - that is why I give it only 4 stars... They perform well and seem to be of good quality. I ordered more.

My grandma had bought a few replacement bobbins for her sewing machine and they were the wrong brand. I saw this pack and ordered it for her so she can make some masks to donate to the hospital. These worked perfectly in her Brother brand sewing machine. I have no idea what year it is, but I know its really old. The off brand ones looked so similar, but they werent as tall and slightly less wide which makes all the difference when it comes to using it in the machine. Totally recommend if you have a Brother sewing machine. These also came in same day shipping so that was amazing. Great product, great services by amazon for delivering it so fast.

I bought these bobbins with my machine, from Amazon. They work fine for straight stitching, but not for complicated embroidery stitches. Thread bunches up on underside of fabric. This has happened twice. Ill shop for actual Brother bobbins.

They worked well in my brother machine. I Bought a few packs.

I have a Brother project runway CE1100prw which a friend gifted to me after she found sewing was not her thing haha. Sadly she had lost all the bobbins so I went down to the sewing store and they gave me the wrong dang bobbins (not these). I used them for quite awhile and though they got projects done they were always wobbling and noisy, and knotted the thread on occasion. I thought I just didnt have a great sewing machine. Then came the day I decided to buy some more and found out I was using the wrong ones! And in ships these. They seem to be very good quality, and work well. Wound thread nicely, and fits/works perfectly in my sewing machine. Its like I bought a new one! Very glad I decided to get these

Ive tried generic class 15 bobbins from a local store on my Brother CS6000i, but they had two problems: 1. The notch was a little large, so they did not lock solidly on to the winding mechanism. When winding a bobbin and it starts to get full, the thread tension can change, causing the generic bobbin to slip on the shaft. The result looks a lot like the dont use bobbins wound like this from your sewing machine manual. The genuine Brother bobbins lock solidly, dont slip, and wind properly. 2. The bobbin was slightly loose in the bobbin case (the part of the machine where the bobbin is while sewing.) This was a much bigger problem, because it caused the thread to jump out of the tensioning spring after a few stitches. The machine would still sew, but not well since the tension was out of balance. With the genuine Brother bobbins, the thread stays on the correct path, and the machine works the way its supposed to.

I was a little disappointed that my brand new sewing machine was incompatible with the 30 or so bobbins I already owned, but these are the right ones for my machine. They are larger than the old fashioned ones. I read some bad reviews on a generic version, so I went with the name brand Brother bobbins since I have a Brother sewing machine. I like that the packaging is actually recyclable, but would be even happier, if they had metal bobbins available. (PS. The few bobbins that actually came with the machine had nice little clips that kept the bobbins from unraveling. These bobbins here do NOT come with any clips and I cant seem to find the clips for sale anywhere.)

These are well worth the money. I tried buying the cheap generic ones and they simply do not work in my machine. They dont spin properly and I end up with skipped stitches, tangles, and all sorts of problems. There really is no substitute for the real thing when it comes to these bobbins. It is so handy to have a whole bunch of them pre-wound with different thread colors for easily switching between projects.
