My Singer DSXll came with plastic. Manual says class 15 but I have bought Singer class 15 that were thinner and wobble in the machine. I have to watch when I buy bobbins that they are the thicker bobbin and are a very slight blue hue in color. The metal ones work but I was advised to use the plastic when I bought the machine.
