Bobbin Style Dimensions

The Prewound Bobbin Style Guide takes the guesswork out of identifying the five most popular bobbin styles--"A", "G", "L", "M" and "U". There are precise circles showing each bobbin's diameter and boxes showing its height. If your bobbin matches these a circle and box with only the lines visible you know its style.  If not, use calipers and the Prewound Bobbin Style Dimensions to identify the style.

Important: You must download the Prewound Bobbin Style Guide and print it to do size matching. The image on your screen is not precise enough to be useful.

Very Important: When you finish printing click "The Thread Exchange" tab to continue shopping.
