Superior Threads is such a great American company! Easy to order from and very customer oriented. Plus, they offer so much free information and advice about thread and bobbins on their website that it is my go-to site for any thing I need to research.

I buy mine from smartneedle.com. You get 144 for $38 it comes to about 26 cents each. They have 2 sizes and list which machine uses which size. I have a brother Dream Machine and have had no problems with the bobbins. The bobbins are not reusable but who cares they are way cheaper than winding my own.

My Janome uses size L prewounds and my Babylock and Brother use size 15. I don't use anything but prewounds unless I need a special color. All your sewing suppliers on line sell them, but I got mine from Amazon.

Rennie -- my Janomes all usethe Class 15 or A bobbin. The L's are just a little shorter -- the 1600p is the only Janome that uses the L. The Innovas use the M.
I use prewound bobbins most of the time for piecing -- I just make sure to get the 15/A's. I have heard of some Janome owners using the L's with the magic genie washers, but I have not tried it. I usually wind my own bobbins when machine quilting since I like the thread to match if it pulls up.
