My metal bobbin only has one hole in it and then the notch for the bobbin winder to fit into. The manual states that the machine takes 15 class bobbins, but all of the ones I see for sale have more holes in them than the one I have. Are those still the correct bobbins for this machine? Or do I need to be looking for bobbins with the one hole. Sorry if the question is confusing.

Okay, I couldn't wait until evening. It's my lunchtime; so, I took some pictures since it was faster than trying to figure out where my post is located. Singer Class 66 bobbins have a curve to them while Singer Class 15 bobbins are flat. The newer metal bobbins that are sold don't always work correctly since they are poorly made. They are either warped or the center moves around so that you can't wind them. Plus, some sit higher in the bobbin area, so they will not work well either. Look for vintage metal bobbins since they work! Hope this helps ya!
I didn't get down far enough on the page to see your next reply with pictures... Thanks so much! Now, to go in search of bobbins for my 15-91. Ebay maybe?
One thing I found really funny when I took all the old thread off of my one metal bobbin, it was wound in several colors of thread (10 maybe)... so each time this person did a project, they just wrapped on the color of thread they were using. Maybe they have my current problem of "only one bobbin for this machine"... LOL. I'm tempted to wind another color on the top of the red I currently have on there, just to use her some more. :)
