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

So glad to have extra bobbins

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.

Fits my Brother embroidery machine

I liked my items very well

I have a Brother Pacesetter ULT2003D. It is an older machine. I have difficulty finding bobbins that work in this machine. These ain’t it.

Great Brother quality and they fit my CS6000i perfectly. Ive had no problems or frustrations with them. They click in correctly when winding a bobbin and drop in smoothly when inserting into the machine.

My poor Brother XR-65T has had all sorts of bobbin problems over the years Ive had it. I thought it was a piece of junk until someone suggested trying the SA156 OEM bobbins in my machine (and giving the area around the feed dogs and bobbin race a good cleaning). Holy cow, it was like night and day -- no more tension issues, no more thread nests and no more headaches. I learned on a vintage Singer and assumed for many years that generic multi-machine bobbins were fine because they worked without problems in that older machine. Now I know my Brother is just very particular about having in-spec bobbins to work correctly and will be sticking with these recommended ones from here on out.

I use these bobbins in my PE770 embroidery machine and in my normal brother sewing machine. These are a class 15 bobbin and work wonderfully in both of my machines. I love that its a 10 pack, this way I have 2 bobbins wound with my embroidery thread and the balance I use for various colors on my main sewing machine. I always feel its best to use the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) bobbins, as they give the best performance, in my opinion. They wind smooth and beautifully. They are clear, so its easy to gauge when you are close to running out of thread. Easy to load, I always remember the saying my home ec. teacher told me ...Over the Waterfall and to the Left Pros: OEM Product - equates to a perfect fit every time Spare Bobbins for larger projects or a color assortment Clear - so you can see through the deck as to how much thread is left on your bobbin Easy to load both thread and into the machine to sew Cons: None that I have found. Overall these are exactly what I expected. A fantastic bobbin that gives a smooth sewing experience every time. I highly recommend these bobbins!
