Conclusion You may be surprised to learn that not many people pay much attention to the bobbin part of the sewing machine when really it is the thing doing all the magic.
The thread on the bobbin will form the bottom of your sewing machine stitches, while the thread in the top spool will form the top of your sewing machine stitches. All eight of the Baby Lock sewing machines in my chart above, including the Jubilant , use a Class 15 bobbin.
You can get Class 15 bobbins in plastic or metal. Personally, I prefer plastic. Another bobbin size is M Class bobbins. These are quite a bit bigger than Class 15 bobbins and are used on longarm quilting machines. If you have an older sewing machine, you can usually find the PDF version of your manual online, or email the manufacturer or your local sewing machine dealer to check which size you need.
Although many companies make bobbins, I recommend the ones made by your sewing machine manufacturer or a major craft brand, like Dritz. There are several ways to wind your bobbin thread. Modern sewing machines usually have a bobbin winder at the top. I made a short video to show you how I wind the bobbin thread on my Baby Lock Jubilant.
You can also use a portable bobbin winder. These are small machines with one purpose — to wind the bobbin thread. You can buy portable bobbin winders on Amazon or at SewingMachinesPlus , and some higher end sewing machines and embroidery machines come with a separate bobbin winder.
Some people find these easier to thread than the bobbin winders on the sewing machine. You might also want to wind a whole bunch of bobbins for a big project without turning on your sewing machine. You can actually buy prewound bobbins instead of winding your own bobbin thread.
However, prewound bobbins are convenient. They have more thread loaded onto them than you can get onto a bobbin you wind yourself. There is also a helpful video for How to Wind a Bobbin by Howcast. This is great if you're a visual learner. They walk you through the process and you can see the movements in real-time.

The bobbin is a very important part of a machine because without it the thread would not hold the stitches together. Great reading for knowledge. National Sewing Month.

Singer bobbin has the most unusual design among the bobbins. Its diameter is 9 mm, and its width is Singer will only fit its bobbin case.
This type of bobbin comes in metal only and is used in many Singer treadle machines. The Bernina bobbin is about the same size as a US nickel and has a width of Its distinct feature is the neat crosshatch design on the bobbin barrel. The bobbin is only available in metal. With the significant number of types of bobbins available in the market, it would take a long time to discuss each one of them. The most important take-away from all this information is that it is always best practice to use the same bobbin type as the bobbin that came with your machine.
Your sewing machine will perform its best if you use the size and design of the bobbin designated for it. Bobbins were all initially made of metal. Then plastic was developed and was used for sewing machine parts such as bobbins and bobbin cases. Today, bobbins are made of various materials like metal, plastic, or aluminum. Knowing what your bobbins are made of can help you with their care and maintenance. Metal bobbins are the most common bobbins available and used in machines.
They are made from treated steel. Metal bobbins are usually preferred over plastic and aluminum because of their durability and long life span. Plastic bobbins perform just as well as metal bobbins. But to optimize the use of plastic bobbins, you should always use them with their plastic bobbin case. Doing so avoids wearing out the plastic quickly which may affect the quality of stitches. Aluminum bobbins weigh lighter, thus, spin faster than metal and plastic bobbins.
Many sewing machine users believe that aluminum bobbins perform better than metal and plastic bobbins. The disadvantage is that they are also easily scratched and damaged. A modern type of bobbin is the Magna-glide Core.
It is just a bobbin barrel wrapped with thread. The Magna-glide Core has the advantage of creating consistent stitches.
Its magnetic-core prevents backlash which is commonly experienced with regular bobbins. Once the thread has been used up, the core can be thrown away or recycled. It would be best to take care of your bobbin and bobbin case no matter what material it is made of.
Keep your bobbins free from scratches and burrs which can cause skipped stitches and thread tangles. Run your finger along the sides of your bobbin and bobbin case to check for small scratches. Replace your bobbin if you find burrs. You may buff out minor scratches on the bobbin case with sandpaper.
