PFAFF® Bobbins

Frequently asked questions - PFAFF® Bobbins

Using genuine PFAFF® bobbins is crucial as they are manufactured to the exact specifications required for the machine's bobbin case and tension system. Using off-brand bobbins can cause tension issues, skipped stitches, and even damage your PFAFF® machine.

Most modern PFAFF® sewing and embroidery machines use the same clear plastic bobbin (part #820921096). However, you should always consult your machine's instruction manual to confirm the correct bobbin style for your specific model.

You should not use metal bobbins in a PFAFF® machine that is designed for plastic bobbins. The bobbin system is calibrated for the weight and size of the plastic bobbins, and using a heavier metal bobbin can affect stitch quality and tension.

For a perfectly wound bobbin, ensure you follow the thread guides on top of the machine and wind the thread evenly. A properly wound bobbin should be firm and even, not loose or lumpy, which is essential for consistent bobbin tension.

You can purchase authentic PFAFF® bobbins from any authorized PFAFF® dealer. Buying from an authorized dealer ensures you are getting genuine products that will work perfectly with your high-performance sewing machine.
