Frequently Asked Questions - Bobbins

Check your instruction manual, which lists the bobbin class or part number. SINGER® machines use classes such as Class 15, 15J and 66. Most modern PFAFF® sewing and embroidery machines use the same clear plastic bobbin (part #820921096). For HUSQVARNA® VIKING® machines, your manual or a dealer can confirm the right one.

A Class 15 bobbin is flat on the top and bottom. A Class 15J bobbin has a slight curve on one side and is a little shorter. They look similar but are not interchangeable, so use the class your machine requires.

Only if your machine is designed for it. Machines with a top drop-in bobbin and thread sensors, including many computerized and HUSQVARNA® VIKING® models, need plastic bobbins. Metal bobbins can interfere with the thread sensor and tension.

The green color is a trademark that identifies genuine HUSQVARNA® VIKING® bobbins, which are made to the exact specifications of the machine. Using the genuine bobbin helps keep tension even and works with the thread sensors on many models. Check your manual for the right bobbin type for your model.

Choosing the right bobbin for your sewing machine

A bobbin holds the lower thread and works with the upper thread to form each stitch. Using the correct bobbin helps keep tension even and stitching smooth, and helps prevent thread jams and skipped stitches. Check your machine manual for the required bobbin class or part number

- Use plastic bobbins in machines with a top drop-in system and thread sensors.
- Metal bobbins are for machines designed for them.
- Keep several wound bobbins ready for large projects.
- Replace bobbins that are cracked, bent or warped.

Types of bobbins
- Plastic bobbins: lightweight and clear, so you can see the thread level.
- Metal bobbins: stronger, for machines designed to use them.
- Pre-wound bobbins: ready to use and convenient for embroidery and long projects.
- Bobbin cases: hold the bobbin and control bottom tension.

Bobbin classes explained
SINGER® machines use bobbin classes such as Class 15, Class 15J and Class 66. They look similar but are not interchangeable, so use the class your manual lists. A Class 15 bobbin is flat on the top and bottom, while a Class 15J has a slight curve and is a little shorter. Most modern PFAFF® machines use one clear plastic bobbin (part #820921096). HUSQVARNA® VIKING® bobbins are green, which marks them as genuine.

How to wind a bobbin
Follow the thread guides on your machine and wind evenly. A well-wound bobbin is firm and smooth, not loose or lumpy. Wind several in the colors you use most before a big project, so you do not have to stop and rewind.

Bobbin problems and fixes
- Uneven stitches: rewind the bobbin more evenly or check the tension.
- Thread nesting under the fabric: rethread the upper thread and check the bobbin is seated correctly.
- Thread sensor errors: check that you are using a clear plastic bobbin of the right type.
- Noise: clean lint from the bobbin area.

Why genuine bobbins matter
Genuine bobbins are made to your machine's exact specifications. Off-brand or wrong-size bobbins can cause tension problems, skipped stitches and wear on the bobbin case.

Colors and packs
Bobbins come in multipacks, pre-wound packs and colors. Color-coded bobbins help you organize thread by project or color.

Browse bobbin cases, bobbin winders, needles and thread to keep your machine running smoothly.
