Just curious, but are these "necessities?" The whole package is around $50.
Just curious
I have used the bobbin genies, too, and they are nice to keep your bobbin from 'recoiling' and getting tangled, but I have a Pfaff that has the empty bobbin sensor, and the genie blocks the sensor from 'seeing' the empty bobbin, so if your machine does that as well, just keep an eye on your stitching when your bobbin is getting low!
