    Where can I buy good class 15 bobbins?

    I think that's what I need right? For Kenmore machines, the bobbins have 10 holes.....

    I bought a 12 pack of Dritz at Walmart. Almost all of them were bent or would not fit on my winder post. I contacted Dritz, they sent me a replacement pack. Same thing. I've had it with bobbins from Walmart.

    So....where can I get good quality bobbins at a reasonable price? Online is fine with me.

    Thanks!!

    You might try Hancock fabrics. I have bought some there for a variety of machines and they have all worked fine. They are an after market brand, but are good quality. If you don't have one in your town, they are on line.

    I almost forgot! When they have sales on sewing notions, these are included in the sale.

    Thanks!

    Edited to add - I just went there and only saw Dritz (no way!!) and Singer. Did you buy Singer? I didn't see an aftermarket brand, at least not for Kenmore machines.

    Have you checked with Sew-Classic? I don't know if they sell them or not. If they do, she is great.

    I have a Bernina and JAF surprisingly sells the Bernina bobbins I use on my older model. I know they also sell Singer bobbins made by Singer.

    I have bought bobbins from Sew-Classic.com
    http://shop.sew-classic.com/
    and Cindy Peters (Stitches in Time) stitchesintime@earthlink.com

    No problems with either one.

    I buy the Singer at walmart for my old kenmore (about 60's model, a 158) anyway they are metal and have 10 holes, no problems, wish you lived closer, I'd give you a handful of them! I use the plastic ones too, have a newer singer, and I use the plastic and the metal in both machines, no problems.

    or Cindy Peters(stitchesintime on Ebay).

    I also buy vintage bobbins on Ebay. I never ever buy bobbins from stores for the exact reason you have found.

    You can get them from your sewing machine dealer, who most likely orders from Brewer. When I get to work tomorrow, I'll get the part number for you.

    Bernina bobbins work in your bobbin case, but the center hole won't fit on your bobbin winder.

    Have you looked on Amazon? These look like they would work:
