Frequently Asked Questions - PFAFF® Bobbin Case

A worn or damaged PFAFF® Bobbin Case can cause inconsistent bobbin tension, thread breaks, or poor-quality stitching, making a replacement essential for optimal sewing machine performance.

A low-tension bobbin case is often used for specialty techniques like bobbin work or free-motion quilting, where bobbin thread needs to come to the top more easily.

No, PFAFF® Bobbin Cases are specific to the machine's Group number (e.g., Group J, L), so you must verify the machine compatibility before purchasing a replacement bobbin case.

Genuine PFAFF® Bobbin Cases are usually precision-engineered metal for durability and heat resistance, essential for maintaining exact bobbin thread tension during high-speed sewing and embroidery.

Bobbin tension is adjusted via a small screw on the side of the bobbin case, but it is generally recommended to use a second bobbin case for specialty tension rather than adjusting the original factory setting.
