Prewound bobbins make sewing easier. Pop a bobbin in your machine and go - no time-consuming bobbin winding. They are precision wound to avoid tension problems and skipped stitches.

Prewound bobbins come in different styles with each suited for different kinds of sewing machines. We carry these bobbin styles: Style A (Class 15) used with most home sewing machines, Style G used with small and mid-sized machines, Style L also used with home sewing machines, Style M used with commercial machines for heavy fabric, canvas and leather, and Style U used with commercial machines for heavyweight fabric, canvas and leather.

Bobbins typically come in boxes of 72 or 144. Our Bobbin 12-Packs let you buy bobbins in smaller quantities. We also have about 100 Half-Price Bobbins; some boxes are battered but the bobbins are just fine.

For more information visit our Bobbin Buying Guide, our Bobbin Style Guide (identify bobbins by comparing to precise bobbin size templates), and our Bobbin Style Reference (bobbin styles for 10,000+ machines).
