The most important thing is to use the bobbin specified by the owners manual for your particular machine. Just because they actually fit in the case, it doesn't mean you can use that bobbin. it has to be the RIGHT bobbin. It has to have the correct clearance, enough depth so the thread somes out properly - those type of things. Machines take one type of bobbin, and they are not interchangeable.
