I guess, I haven't tried to wind one of those bobbins before! So, back to finding vintage bobbins, or maybe these are just a bad batch? Anyway else tried to wind one of the 66's from Wal Mart on a vintage machine?

I just bought the Metal Class 66 Singer's at Joann's and they wouldn't wind on my machine either...hold to small but I was able to wind them on my 301. I'm wondering if I should buy a bobbin winder and if they would wind on one of those?[/quote]
I bought a pack at Walmart a couple weeks ago before I realized they were not what my 301 takes. When I recently got the 192K and the 66 they both had a few bobbins. The 66 has some old vintage bobbins with it. They work fine but are rusty and old and I don't really want to use them. I had a large bobbin box full of mixed ones from the 192K, and some I had AND the new pack I just bought. I've tried them all on the bobbin winder and they all fit fine. I've filled a couple on each of the 2 machines. So I'm not seeing a problem with the pack I bought. I'm not even sure now which ones they were. But I've placed all the bobbins on the winder and they fit.
