How could he tell you metal would ruin your machine? When they started making the 66 they did not have plastic bobbins? I say use a good quality bobbin, plastic or metal, that works in your machine. I don't use plastic in my 66, but mine is a 1914 machine -- there were no plastic bobbins then.
Miz Johnny, Billy, anyone else have an opinion? I am curious too as I was told to never use plastic bobbins in my 66!

I use whatever ones work. I can say I never use newer bobbins in my 201, because it won't make a decent stitch with a crappy bobbin!! I would prefer the plastic ones to modern metal, but the old metal ones are just fine.
